Learn Barista Skills, Specialty Coffee, Roasting, Brewing, Entrepreneurship and Coffee Careers through practical training and mentorship.
From beginner barista to coffee entrepreneur — practical, affordable, industry-recognised.
Alfred Gitau Mwaura founded JCTC with one belief: world-class coffee education should not be the privilege of the few. Growing up in Kenya's coffee-growing heartland, he saw talented youth shut out of thriving careers by lack of access to training and education.
Today, JCTC partners with Kenya Coffee School and Barista Mtaani to run Africa's most ambitious coffee education platform — training baristas, roasters, entrepreneurs, and professionals who are reshaping the continent's relationship with its most iconic export.
"Every great cup of coffee begins with a skilled hand. We exist to train those hands — and the minds behind them."
JCTC's AI tutor by KCS is available 24/7 to answer coffee questions, explain brewing science, guide your career path, and build personalised learning plans — in English or Swahili.
Every JCTC graduate receives a tamper-proof digital certificate with QR verification — accepted by employers across Kenya, East Africa, and internationally.
