Apply to be a workshop Station Instructor
Station Instructors at Workshops are specialized volunteers who assist workshop leaders in demonstrating and instructing certain skills, techniques, and methods.
Workshops are hands-on interactive sessions that allow a deep dive into a variety of topics relevant to coffee professionals, approximately 3 hours in length, and instructed by subject matter experts from a variety of backgrounds.
Workshops do not provide SCA Education program credit. Workshops are designed to complement the suite of SCA Education Programs (Coffee Skills Program, Coffee Sustainability Program, and Coffee Technicians Program).
SCA Authorized SCA Trainers (ASTs) can receive Continuing Professional Development (CPD) credit for attending, leading, or station instructing workshops.
Station instructors are responsible for reviewing lesson plans and may be asked to participate in a pre-workshop call. They will support the lead instructor by delivering workshop content in a small group setting, for example: demonstrating dialing-in espresso, facilitating a cupping, or prepping sensory references.
