Departments at Samen Academy:
We keep our class sizes small, our approach personal, and our standards high. From the first workshop to your first job — we’re with you every step of the way
The course at Samen Academy gave my barista career a flying start. The lessons were practical, informative, and most importantly, a lot of fun.
I got acquainted with Samen Academy courses in Italy. If you want to work in the Netherlands and hear 'I'm happy with you' from your manager, participate in the practical barista course at Samen. This course enabled me to secure a job at one of the best and largest catering companies in the Netherlands with a monthly salary of 2500 euros.
The instructors at Samen Academy are amazing. Their expertise and enthusiasm make every class a special experience.
