Student Testimonials

5★★★★★
- Q. What motivated you to attend First Barista Academy?
- I’ve loved coffee since I was a student?so much that my nickname was “coffee addict.” My dream was to create my own cafe brand, so I worked hard as a cafe part-timer. Although I knew how to make coffee, I felt starting a business without professional knowledge wasn’t right. Then, I discovered First Academy has a dedicated barista branch and a detailed curriculum covering overall coffee knowledge, which attracted me to choose this place.
- Q. What was the most memorable part of the classes?
- I didn’t like acidic coffee before, but after trying various beans, I understood why knowing different beans is important. I also learned how to choose beans depending on the dessert served alongside, and got to know the latest coffee trends. I really remember and appreciate Barista Instructor Lee Young-gyu for sharing so much knowledge. Thank you!
