There are many certificates available for baristas nowadays:

1. There is a barista grade examination in our country.

2. European Fine Coffee Association (SCAE) certified all kinds of barista roaster examinations, American Fine Coffee Association (SCAA) certified various examinations, now SCAA (American Fine Coffee Association) and SCAE (European Fine Coffee Association) merged, the new association name: SCA-Specialty Coffee Association, official website: www.sca.coffee, education and training part, still tell you to refer to the respective official websites of SCAA and SCAE, have not yet been uniformly updated.

3. The Italian Coffee Association also has an Italian coffee tasting expert certification exam.

4. London City Industry Association City&Guilds International Coffee Planner Certification International Award in Barista Skills

I think the barista certificate issued by the Ministry of Labor is not recognized in the coffee industry, because our country's coffee industry is relatively backward, certification training and technology are not as good as foreign countries. Baristas certified by foreign coffee associations are recognized not only at home but also abroad.

About the internationally certified barista certificate?

Liann trainer: the key point of internationally certified baristas scaa and scae is not easy to take the exam. In China, the exams are all in Chinese, and the tuition fees paid in RMB are actually not converted according to euros and US dollars, but are priced according to the level of openness of information in each city. For example, the exam in Shanghai is cheaper than that in Yunnan. In fact, the key to this certificate of scae is who will sign it, that is, who is the examiner, which is signed by the examiner in the lower right corner of the certificate.

The level between examiners and examiners is not the same, and the reputation in the industry is also different. Some examiners issued a certificate that as soon as you reported your name in the coffee circle in a first-tier city, people knew that this certificate had a high gold content. Some examiners, on the contrary, will feel that the certificate is actually bought by money when they say the name. For example, Chen Jiajun, an examiner from scaa Taiwan in the United States, everyone knows that the examination process is very strict. For example, Wang Zhendong, an examiner in Shanghai of scae in Europe, teaches a large number of teachers in training schools in the industry. So if you want to take the certificate, you should first identify who the issuer is, and then look at which city and which institution this person will take the exam in.

Scaa's certificate is also signed by the instructor. However, it is not as obvious as the mentors of scae in Europe, mainly because the teaching standards in the United States are different from those in Europe. The teaching understanding of scaa is standardized, and each process should be taught according to the standards of aa. The tutors of English-speaking countries usually take the test, so there is a tendency to take the American standard as the test standard. The teaching understanding of ae in Europe is compendified. Tutors spread all over the world and can modify the teaching content according to the characteristics of their own countries. The final results of the examination are almost determined by this mentor, so as long as the tutor has no problem, the teaching content will be very approachable. (source: Zhihu website)

If you are skilled, you can do without a certificate, at least in China, SCAA and SCAE are the two largest boutique coffee organizations in the industry. To get this certification for China's current coffee market, I feel that it is of less use from the perspective of employment, and the textual research is expensive, so I can get to know some contacts in the coffee circle. If you are abroad, if you have this certification, one is that it is useful to work in a coffee shop; the other is that it is good to apply for some training positions.
