I am currently studying diploma in barista and gourmet art at The Wave Academy and I'm really enjoying the classes so far as the instructors are really knowledgeable, offering practical insights to coffee brewing and latte art. Baking classes are really fun too as the instructor teaches a lot of different techniques to make a good pastry. I highly recommend this experience!!!
