Why Australian Training Academy

Real café skills, taught hands-on in Sydney.

We're the training arm of Di Pacci Coffee Company — Registered Training Organisation 45805 — running coffee and food safety courses from our Roselands academy, taught hands-on by trainers with real industry experience.

01 — Equipment

Commercial machines, not domestic

You train on the same professional espresso machines and grinders found in working cafés, so your skills transfer straight to the job from day one.

02 — Method

Demonstration → practice → execute

You don't just watch. Every session is built around doing — pulling shots, texturing milk and making drinks yourself, guided by an experienced trainer.

03 — Class size

Small groups, real attention

Group classes stay small and 1-on-1 sessions are fully private, so you get genuine feedback rather than getting lost at the back of a room.

04 — Trainers

Years of café experience

Our trainers explain the principles behind the technique, so you can adapt to any bean, machine or café environment — not just memorise steps.

05 — Recognition

Accredited & certificate options

Choose nationally recognised units (SITHFAB025, SITXFSA005) for career progression, or a hands-on certificate course to build skills fast.

06 — Location

Roselands, easy to reach

Train at 97–99 Chapel St, Roselands NSW 2196 — open Monday to Saturday, and easy to reach across the Sydney metro area.

Common questions

Food Safety & coffee courses, answered.

How do I get my Food Safety Supervisor certificate in NSW?

Complete the nationally recognised Food Safety Supervisor course online for $129. It covers units SITXFSA005 and SITXFSA006 plus the NSW Food Authority key focus areas, has no prerequisites, and you can start right away. We're NSW Food Authority approved (#83859).

Is the Food Safety course online, and are there any prerequisites?

Yes — it's delivered 100% online with no prerequisites, so anyone can enrol and begin immediately. You'll need access to a commercial kitchen to demonstrate the practical tasks. The certificate is valid for five years.

Do I need a certificate to work as a barista in Sydney?

No — there's no mandatory licence to make coffee in NSW. But hands-on barista training gives you a real advantage when job hunting, because cafés want staff who can start immediately on commercial equipment. For premium cafés and management roles, the nationally recognised Prepare & Serve Espresso Coffee qualification helps you stand out.

Which course do I need before the espresso coffee unit?

The Food Safety Supervisor course (covering SITXFSA005) is a prerequisite for the nationally recognised Prepare & Serve Espresso Coffee unit. You'll need to provide evidence of it before starting the practical training.

What's the difference between the group class and 1-on-1 barista training?

The group class ($99) is a shared 150–180 minute session run regularly in small groups — excellent value and ideal for beginners. The 1-on-1 session ($249) is private, booked on a date of your choice, and tailored to your pace. Both issue a certificate on completion.

Do you run coffee roasting courses?

Yes. Our Coffee Roasting Fundamentals course ($550) is a full hands-on day covering roast profiling, cupping and your own batches on professional equipment. The Advanced Coffee Roasting course ($1,100) then goes deeper into profiling and technique for experienced roasters. Both run at our Roselands academy.

Where are courses held and what are the hours?

All training takes place at the Di Pacci academy, 97–99 Chapel St, Roselands NSW 2196. We're open Monday to Friday 8am–5pm and Saturday 9am–2pm. Call (02) 9758 0760 to ask about upcoming dates and availability.
