Straight Answers

SCA Questions We Get Daily

Asked on WhatsApp every week -- answered here the same way.

Is the exam really included in the price?
Yes. Every price on this page includes the exam fee and your certification. No surprises at the end.
Should I take Foundation standalone or with the 2-Day course?
If you already roast and just need the credential, standalone is fine. If you're newer, the 2-Day Roaster Fundamentals with the RM500 add-on gives you the credential plus two full days of hands-on roasting -- for RM560 more than the credential alone. Most students take that path.
Can I go straight to Intermediate?
Foundation is strongly recommended first -- Intermediate assumes that vocabulary and those concepts. If you have equivalent experience, WhatsApp us and Tristan will assess where you should start.
Where and when do the courses run?
At our roastery: No.9, Jalan PJU 3/46, Sunway Damansara, 47810 Petaling Jaya. Sessions run 10:00am -- 4:00pm, and you pick your dates at checkout or by arrangement on WhatsApp.
