Though the SCA does not require learners to take these courses is order, we believe taking the courses in order is essential to supporting our learners’ education.
Learner’s do not have to have taken previous courses with Ringtons in order to take the next level in the module. Learners who can provide proof of certificates for previous courses may enrol in the next level of the module.
There is a limit of 5 learners per course.
If you would like to book a group of 3 or more students, please contact us for assistance.
Courses require a minimum of three learners in attendance. We reserve the right to cancel an under-enrolled course and issue a full refund with a minimum of one week’s notice.
If for any reason you can’t attend your booked course then we will do everything we can to change your booking to a future date which suits you.
If you require a refund please cancel at least two weeks in advance.
Cancellations less than two weeks in advance will be eligible for a 50% refund. Cancellations within three days of the booking will not be eligible for a refund.

Born in the US, and after stints in Australia and New Zealand, Kaitlin joined Ringtons in 2022 to help our customers with serving great coffee and providing training to baristas in their own environments.
7 years of experience in the industry – most of that time spent behind a café counter making drinks for customers.
“I love teaching baristas about the exciting world of the coffee supply chain and the journey every bean must take from seed to cup.”
Favourite latte art pattern: “Swan. Next one to learn is the rose!”
Favourite café drink: “I love ordering a pour over when they are offered as I think it gives the coffee a chance to really shine and show off all of the processing it’s been through on it’s journey to the cup.”
