Coffee Training Professional (Level 1)

Turn your professional coffee experience into something bigger!

You've spent years building your expertise in specialty coffee. You're smart, dependable, and driven. But maybe you feel like you've hit a ceiling. If you're looking for a role with more purpose, broader reach, and room to grow beyond the four walls of a café, this could be the opportunity you've been working toward.

For more than 16 years, Texas Coffee School has helped aspiring coffee shop owners across the country build thriving independent businesses.

As part of our training team, you won't just teach coffee skills. You'll guide students from idea to launch and see their success unfold in the real world. Today, our alumni operate hundreds of coffee shops and mobile ventures that create jobs, strengthen local economies, and help shape the future of specialty coffee. Few roles allow you to see the impact of your work so directly. There's nothing quite like watching someone open their own shop knowing you helped make it happen. As one of our Coffee Training Professionals, you are not removed from the result. You are part of it.
