What a great experience! We had 2:1 training with Vicki on How to Start a Coffee Shop. Although, on our part, we were a little apprehensive as to what to expect and what would be expected of us - Vicki had us making coffee like a 'pro' and discussing the various coffee beans in no time, never knew there was so much choice! Vicki's ideas and enthusiasm are so refreshing, her level of knowledge is incredible. Vicki, you gave us the confidence to put into practice all that you taught us. We have already been in contact with local suppliers for our bread (we know where we're getting our coffee from!) and we have even carried out a little 'market research' of some of the local coffee shops where we would like to open, not bad considering we only completed the course with you last Friday! Your energy and drive has rubbed off. It was lovely to meet you Ruth best wishes with your pregnancy, it was great meeting Youri. Thank you very much Vicki, we will keep you informed of our progress.

I was gifted a barista training course for christmas and was lucky enough to get a one on one with Ruth. As a novice I was really impressed with Ruth's knowledge and teaching skills. Really enjoyed the morning and the great coffee we used. I would highly recommend booking on a course. I am hoping to upgrade to a new espresso machine to try out my new skills at home. - Daniel

What a great course! A great combination of practical hands on fun coffee making and learning about the history of coffee, alongside the more theoretical but extremely useful financial aspects. This course contains all the detail needed to open that first coffee shop, with tons of resources available afterwards. The course is fantastic value for money! Youri is a great teacher too and really tailored the course for our needs. I could not recommend this course more! - Craig Warmington

A must for anyone thinking of opening a coffee shop!! - Stephen Tyldsley

I had an absolutely fantastic time on the course today, I was lucky in the fact that the other two people booked on the course didn't turn up, so it became a day of 1-1 training which suited me perfectly. I learned so much from Ruth, she is extremely knowledgeable and very passionate about coffee, so much so, that you will most definitely become very passionate about coffee (and bore your friends with the science behind it all) I am so pleased I booked onto the course, and would highly recommend people to do so, even if you don't necessarily want to use the skills now, and its just something you're interested in! Do it, you won't regret it. My brain was fried by the end of the day with all the information I was learning, but Ruth was very good at pacing things, and changing activities when she could see I was struggling to concentrate. She also didn't get annoyed when I accidentally poured hot milk all over her hand (oops!) The latte art course was very enjoyable, and its fun to learn! I would highly recommend Limini Coffee! Thanks again for a brilliant day! - Jessica King

What a wonderful way to spend a morning! Ruth was extremely knowledgeable and friendly; the course very interactive. I couldn't quite believe how much I learned in 3 hours and was quite disappointed to have to leave - could have stayed all day! I was initially quite concerned that I might not be able to make a decent cup of coffee, but Ruth guided us through the process in easy steps and I felt much more confident at the end of the course. Looking forward to coming back for the running a coffee shop course! Thanks and see you soon. - Gerry Parker

The Barista course was three hours of fun, facts, practical experience and tasting professional brews plus your own creations. Our instructor Ruth was superb and made the course an absolute must for coffee lovers. I would highly recommend anyone who loves coffee to let Limini show you the best ways to make top quality coffee at home and open your mind to the various ways this can be done to a professional standard. A brilliant day, thank you. - Darren

I cannot recommend this course highly enough both for those considering starting a business but also for those already in business who feel they would benefit from some fresh ideas and direction. Vicki's enthusiasm and energy is infectious and her knowledge and passion for the industry is second to none. Lovely people, great facility with excellent equipment and huge amounts of industry knowledge. - Jon Barlow

Wow, well what can i say ... A day i will never forget.. i was nervous about this course but as soon as i walked in i was welcomed with open arms by Ruth who was my trainer for the day, what a lovely and funny lady, she made me feel at ease straight away. I havent got a scooby doo (clue ) about running a business whatsoever but with the help from Ruth i felt like i did when i left, she was extremely informative, helpful and then i did my 'coffee machine training' wow what a giggle, if you think steaming milk is easy well forget it you need an 'A level' lol its harder than you think, but wow what an experience. Please, If your thinking of how to start' running your own coffee shop' well believe me this is the place to come, every penny was worth it, you will walk out at the end of the day feeling like you have opened your business as that's how Ruth made me feel, going through everything from business plans to how coffee came about....I met a guy who was on the course and he has got his own coffee shop already but after chatting to him he has invited me to go and have a look to get ideas of how to run one, so meeting someone doing the same thing, bouncing off ideas is also a bonus.. also met vicky the other lovely trainer who was fab and the lovely mike and bex who work behind the scenes so everyone is just so friendly so for customer service it has to be the best i have come across it really is.. well done guys :) Keep up the fantastic work. - Andrea

Myself and a colleague are in the process of starting up a coffee shop and we found this course online. It was the best 2 days I have ever spent! While I have set up and run businesses before, there was very little I knew about the operations of a coffee shop, so I booked onto this course along with a colleague to help us understand what we need to do to set up our coffee shop. Youri was fantastic and incredibly knowledgable and understanding. He took the time to understand our situation and offered some fantastic advice to help us set up a strong foundation for a successful coffee shop. He broke up the days with some Barista training and made sure everything was fun and we understood all of the areas we covered thoroughly. The quality of the training and the materials given afterwards is second to none. Thank you so much to Youri and his team for an incredible experience and advice! - Charlotte
