CLCoffee Roasting week at Boot Roasting with Valerian was a fantastic experience. He is incredibly knowledgeable about roasting coffee, and the coffee business. As a seasoned coffee, roaster professional, Valerian taught the course, adding a personal touch coming from his experience as a roast master. He made sure that student always had enough time To practice and experience roasting coffee. Boot Campus It’s also well equipped with enough roaster to have plenty of time of practice for each student. I recommend taking courses and classes at Boot and with Valerian as instructor.

GBQ - Grader course Going thru Boot Coffee Campus has been an amazing, professional growing experience. I started by taking Coffee Pro, the courses and videos provided a plethora of information for anyone interested on immersing in the vast coffee world. My end goal was to get Q- grader certified, for what I decided to enroll in both Sensory Modules followed by Q-grading classes and examinations. I wasn't really sure what to expect, but after reading most of the blogs I knew becoming a Q-grader wasn't going to be easy. Sensory classes with Valerian were eye opening, I thought I knew some about coffee sensory, but Valerian sure taught me there was a lot more to learn about. He went the xtra mile for us involved in the modules to understand coffee sensory. Once done with these two modules, we moved into our Q- grading course. So much information to process, constant testing and practices make your senses spin like a tornado. Willem Boot taught the vast majority of the course, but it is imperative to mention that both Willem and Valerian choreographed all classes in such a way we had the time to digest and fully understand their lectures. Examinations of course brought the stress factor to a higher level, but at all times both instructors made sure we felt confident. Thank you Willem Boot and Valerian Hrala, it has been quite a ride, one for the books, can't wait to return for more quality Coffee Roasting training. Till next time, Ramon

GBThe Best Q Course The Q course was really great here. Not only you could learn all the in-course materials but also from this amazing team! Their experience their knowledge and their passion, are all you could get from these 6-day training. The exam is indeed intense and exhausting, but you will find you are getting strong at a very amazing speed at the end.

ETMore followup n engagement needed after the online training I wish you do more follow up after the online training I took. That's the only way for you you to assess if the training I took was effective and useful or otherwise.
