Beverage Equipment Service Technician Program Serves Industry Need

 

El Camino College’s Beverage Equipment Service Technician (BEST) certification program was developed in response to business and industry needs for qualified service technicians who could repair equipment used for making coffee and other specialty beverages.   Industry experts were actively involved in curriculum and program development, and donated equipment to use for the hands-on portion of the training program.

Training includes three levels of certification training, which can also be customized to meet employer needs.  Students can attend courses on campus, at their worksite, or even take classes on-line.

Partners include equipment and product manufacturers Specialty Coffee, Café Au Lait, Newco Enterprises, Bunn, Paradise, Prebica, Fetco Corporation, Curtis and Bloomfield; and the Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA).
