  • Q. What motivated you to attend First Academy?

    I have always been interested in coffee, and my interest grew even more after starting a part-time job at a cafe. When I decided to seriously study to become a barista, I researched several academies, and First Academy’s curriculum appealed to me the most, so I chose it.

  • Q. What was the most memorable part of the classes?

    I was impressed that the instructors corrected my posture during the practical exam and provided detailed feedback on all my questions. Combining theory and practice improved my understanding of coffee trends, and the classes were always enjoyable thanks to the instructors’ cheerful preparation.
