The Sensory Skills Professional course builds on the concepts and skills introduced in the Sensory Skills Intermediate course and prepares the

learner for managerial job functions in the sensory evaluation of coffee and related products. In this interactive course, learners gain alignment

with industry coffee and sensory standards; learn about the implementation of sensory evaluation in a coffee business; acquire the skills

required to start identifying and evaluating qualities in specialty green coffee; and demonstrate how to accurately measure and describe coffee

beverage characteristics. Participants will learn how to generate repeatable and methodical sensory measurements of coffee, along with

interpretation of those results. A written exam tests professional course knowledge while a practical exam tests the skills described above based
