Frequently Asked Questions
-
Our professional development classes span multiple industries and skill levels. We offer barista and coffee training courses (Espresso Basics, Latte Art, Advanced Barista Techniques), pottery and ceramics instruction (wheel throwing, hand-building, porcelain), woodworking and metalwork (welding, machinery operation, furniture design), floristry, jewellery making, and specialized workshops on entrepreneurship, environmental education, and business management. Classes range from 2-hour taster sessions to 8-week comprehensive courses.
-
Course durations vary depending on the skill level and complexity. Introductory taster classes are typically 2-3 hours, such as the Friday Night Taster Wheel Throwing (2 hours) and Metalwork Intro to Welding (3 hours). Intermediate courses generally span 3-8 weeks meeting 2.5-3 hours per session. For example, the Slow Clay Beginners' Wheel Throwing course runs for 8 weeks, while the Career Introduction 3 Week Floristry Fundamental is a 3-week program. Some intensive masterclasses, like Portrait Painting in Oil, are structured over 3 weeks for 9 total hours.
-
Prerequisites vary by course. Many beginner-level classes have no prerequisites—for example, the Espresso Basics course and Slow Clay Beginners' Wheel Throwing require no prior experience. However, advanced courses do have requirements. The Latte Art Fundamentals course requires either completion of Espresso Basics or sound knowledge of espresso preparation. Similarly, Advanced Barista - Mastering Extractions requires Espresso Basics or equivalent espresso knowledge. Always check individual course descriptions to confirm entry requirements before enrolling.
-
Inclusions differ by course. Most courses include all materials and tools needed for hands-on learning. For example, the Friday Night Taster Wheel Throwing (Collingwood) includes structured instruction, hands-on wheel time with small class sizes, two pieces glazed and kiln-fired for later collection, and all materials. The Espresso Fundamentals course includes a Barista Handbook, 250g of First Batch Coffee for home, and a digital certificate of attendance. Woodworking courses like the 5 Board Bench include all tools and materials. Some courses, such as the Handmade Organic Skincare class, provide a digital booklet with recipes and formulations. Check individual course listings for specific inclusions.
-
Class sizes are intentionally kept small for quality instruction. The Latte Art Fundamentals course caps at 10 students to maintain hands-on learning time. The Friday Night Taster Wheel Throwing limits classes to 12 participants. Summer Vibes Introduction to Jewellery has a maximum of 8 people, while the Masterclass Flowers workshop accommodates up to 8 students in an artist's studio. Some specialized courses like BYO Project Woodworking limit enrollment to 4 participants per group. These smaller cohorts allow instructors to provide individualized attention and ensure adequate practice time for each participant.
-
Outcomes depend on the course type. Many classes provide certificates of completion—for example, the Latte Art Fundamentals and Advanced Barista - Mastering Extractions both include certificates. Some pottery courses, like the Slow Clay Beginners' Wheel Throwing, allow students to continue progressing to different course levels with priority enrollment, with no pressure to specialize in one area. Woodworking courses provide access to the workshop 6 days per week after induction. Beginner barista courses recommend students can bundle additional sessions or return for more practice. Some courses, like Career Introduction 3 Week Floristry Fundamental, include a Floristry Tool Kit to support ongoing practice at home.
