ABOUT THIS TIER
The teaching craft, recorded.
Trainer Ready is for the barista who already has the skill — but doesn't know how to pass it on. The one who can pull a perfect shot in their sleep, but freezes when a new staff member asks "wait, why?"
This tier hands you the things Vincent had to figure out the hard way over twelve years: how to explain, demonstrate, give feedback, and structure a real session. Not theory — actual recorded sessions, the lesson plans he uses today, and the templates he prints for his own students.
By the end, you can walk into any café and run a structured training program — confidently, professionally, and at a price that reflects the work.
What you'll work through.
Everything in Tier 1, plus the complete teaching toolkit.
