BECOME AN AST
First AST course in Kenya.
December 2019
SCA courses are taught by hundreds of Authorized SCA Trainers (ASTs) in locations around the globe. ASTs are coffee professionals who use their knowledge and training skills to deliver SCA courses. Our trainers deliver course content and assess the written and practical examinations required to pass each module, audited by the SCA.
Becoming an AST will give you the unique opportunity to teach the Coffee Skills Program (CSP) curriculum at your own Authorized Training Venue or Premium Training Campus.
The Coffee Skills Program is also offered at SCA events around the world. Lead trainer positions as well as assistant trainer positions (station instructors) for CSP courses are selected via an application and review process. Please contact education@sca.coffee for more information.
We’ll provide you with all the necessary training on our two-day AST course as well as support from SCA staff to help guide you as you begin teaching your own courses.
SCA requires a three-month gap between taking and passing an Intermediate level module and taking and passing the CSP Professional level of the same module. A three-month gap is required between passing the CSP Professional level and following the AST course.
A 3-year AST license costs
- €1500 EUR / $1800 USD
- plus €200 EUR / $240 per certifier license
- Adding an extra module costs €200 EUR / $240 USD
