Best bet is to try to get some part-time work I'd say. It'll take more than a day or two to become consistent and after leaving a course you'll have no one to walk you through anything you might be doing wrong.
Then again, getting a part-time job in a bad coffee shop, you'll still have no one to walk you through anything you might be doing wrong...
Never tried any of those courses myself though, so can't comment on how good they are.

Courses are great, i teach some. But nothing beats on the job training.
Making coffee is actually very easy mechanically. The workflow, pace and sensory side take a lot more time to nail down. An open minded place should look past a lack of experience and hire the right person. After that, you can learn most of what you need to know through books and on the web.
Maybe we should put together a lfgss training day.....

Sorry if it's been mentioned mulitple times before, but can anybody recommend a good course in London for Barista skills? I know there's a few about, like Prufrock, and specialist schools. Wondered if anybody has first hand experience? Or would people suggest learning on the job, part-time?
