Course Trainer
Tristan Michael Creswick
Australian 🇦🇺
Bio: Tristan started working in a cafe, washing dishes, when he was 16. Not long after he was behind the coffee machine pulling shots and has spent most of his career working with coffee since. He has competed (and won) in Barista competitions, owned 2 popular cafes and a coffee roastery, was the Operations and Training Manager for a national coffee franchise and has been in all sorts of diverse roles in F&B and the coffee industry along the way.
His experience has caused him to recognize the results that education can bring so he continues to be a scholar himself and has made a committed to educating others. He teaches all levels of Barista and unlike most trainers he still keeps very active teaching the basic levels so his ability and methods of delivering training are very refined and he can take someone from zero skill/knowledge to advanced in a very short amount of time.
