more days. more money. more fluff?

DOES MORE DAYS MAKE A BETTER COFFEE BUSINESS CLASS? SADLY, NO.

Other coffee schools learned long ago that if they add more days (and more fluff) they can appear to be offering more. It’s a bitter reality. Instead of drawing our coffee business class over additional days, we keep our business course focused on the things that actually matter. This way you save on tuition, hotel, travel, and time. If you are serious about your coffee business, don’t fall for classroom fluff, a tour around a city, and basic generalized business curriculum!
