Nine sessions from first shot to City & Guilds credential
In May 2025, SARDA's Au Tau Youth Centre ran a nine-session City & Guilds barista programme with Tasse Coffee — 16 young people per session working toward an internationally recognised qualification, as a genuine route back to employment.

structured sessions to a credential
SARDA Au Tau Youth Centre
The brief
The centre wanted more than an experience day: a certificate employers actually recognise, delivered on a schedule their young people could complete, by an examining body-approved centre.
What we did
Nine consecutive structured sessions through May 2025 — espresso fundamentals, milk work, workflow and service — culminating in formal City & Guilds assessment. Tasse is one of the few Hong Kong centres approved to both teach and examine.
The result
A cohort trained and formally assessed toward an internationally recognised barista credential — and a template we now offer any NGO building employment pathways.
