more days. more money. more fluff?

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

Other coffee schools add more days (and more fluff) so 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 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 generalized business curriculum with a bunch of up-sell add-on services at the end!
