    We had the trainer, Sam, and a mixed group of people in their 20s, 30s and 40s, different ethnicities, gender and a mix of native and non-native speakers. Sam was fantastic at changing his teaching style for each individual person. He's very understanding, supportive and he makes sure that everyone can do a good job by the end. Would highly recommend, he's incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and a good laugh. Cheers.

    My 14-year-old son has just done the barista course with CHT. He has some learning difficulties and doesn't love school. These guys gave him the best classroom experience he's ever had in his life. He was fully engrossed in it for two whole days and now wants to make coffees all day at home. I'd totally recommend this company to other parents - it's not just for adults. Your kids will love them.

    I don’t even know where to start describing my amazing experience with these courses. I only have wonderful things to say! From the customer service, which provides all the information you need in the kindest way, to the weekend Bartending course itself—everything was exceptional. Teacher Stuart is truly one of the best instructors I’ve ever had. He’s a master of his craft, and his teaching style is engaging, informative, and inspiring. Not only does he involve you fully in the class, but he also shares valuable tips, techniques, and feedback to help you excel in your professional career. In less than a month after completing the course, I was already bartending at private events. The knowledge I gained allowed me to confidently prepare essential cocktails and even create tailored drinks to meet clients’ needs. Even outside the classroom, Stuart has been incredibly supportive and always willing to lend a hand when needed. If you’re looking to start your bartending career or improve your skills, this course is the perfect choice—it exceeds expectations at every turn. They truly care about your growth and give you the tools to succeed. Taking this course has been one of the best investments I’ve made, both personally and professionally. What an amazing group of people I met there! Many of us have become friends and even work together now. It’s incredible to share this journey with such talented and supportive individuals. This experience truly changed my perspective and life, and I’m confident it could do the same for anyone who decides to enroll. You’ll have all the tools and resources just one step away. A huge thank you to the entire team and staff for making this opportunity a reality for us!

    I took Bar&Barista courses and loved both! Stuart, the bar instructor is awesome guy, super fun, knowledgeable and always ready to help. He made every class exciting and taught us not just the skills, but how to add personality to our work. Sam, the barista instructor, is super cool and passionate about coffee and always encouraging. He shared unique insights and made sure we mastered every detail. Highly recommend these courses!

    Muy buena institución muy recomendada para todas las personas que quieran tener una experiencia previa y un mayor conocimiento en el oficio de bartender recomiendo a los estudiantes hablantes de español tener un buen nivel de inglés para sacar el mayor provecho del curso, aunque los profesores se esfuerzan por hacerte entender la mayor cantidad de información una experiencia muy excelente y súper recomendado.

    I’ve completed a number of courses at CHT over the years and each time I go back I’ve had a great experience. It’s the perfect environment for developing new skills as it has a fully equipped bar, restaurant and coffee making studio. I enjoy learning about the different types of beers, wines and spirits and love making fancy cocktails and coffees. I highly recommend Complete Hospitality Training as it has great trainers and it offers the complete hospitality package.

    The course was great! I had some idea of how to make a coffee (or so I thought) made very clear different types of coffees, regional variants a short history of the origin of coffee and what goes into a bean. Best type and time to use bean and some brief tasting notes, Importance of the grind size (super important) and how to read a coffee machine to identify why or what is going on or wrong with any coffee at any given time. I came from the course with a full confidence on making any coffee from start of day to proper cleaning procedures and upkeep of the machine at the end with improved knowledge of how to trouble shoot myself which I previously lacked. The teacher was nothing short of a master of his trade and had clearly been in the coffee game for many years. I Recommend this highly for beginners or skilled workers who are looking to refine their skills. Great day!
