SCA Barista Skills, adapted for visually impaired learners
Tasse Coffee adapted the SCA Barista Skills Foundation syllabus for students of the Hong Kong Blind Union in March 2026 — the same international standard and the same certificate, taught through touch, sound and structured repetition.
SCA
same standard, same certificate
Hong Kong Blind Union
The brief
Could an internationally accredited barista course be taught without sight — without diluting the standard? The Blind Union wanted a real credential for their members, not a simplified taster.
What we did
Our SCA Authorised Trainers rebuilt each module around tactile reference points, audio cues from the machine, and consistent bench layouts — across two full teaching days in March 2026, with the SCA syllabus intact.
The result
A visually impaired cohort trained to the same SCA Foundation standard as any sighted class. We believe this is among the first such deliveries in Hong Kong — and it is the work we are proudest of.
