Barista Training in the UK

Have you been on a barista training course in the UK, in the last 12 months or so to enhance your coffee skills ?  Are you now working with espresso, latte, cappuccino and may be even latte art ?

We'd like to hear about your experiences, what you learned, what you feel you didn't learn, and whether you have used your new knowledge since.

There seem to be quite a few companies offering barista training, and we are wondering whether everything is equal, if you get what you pay for, and what courses are being offerred and taken up.

If you offer barista training, we'd also like to hear from you ! Tell us more, and share your own thoughts...
