Weโre really proud to share some big news from Buono Coffee Academy. Our trainer, Tishan Wijesooriya, has officially become an AST Authorized Trainer under the SCA program for the 2025 to 2028 period.
What this means, simply put, is that he has been trained, assessed, and approved by the Specialty Coffee Association to deliver internationally recognised coffee education at the highest standard.
This isnโt just a title. It reflects strong technical knowledge, real teaching ability, and a commitment to global best practices in coffee.
For our students, it means learning from a trainer who meets international benchmarks and follows up to date SCA standards in every class.
This is a big milestone for us as an academy and a strong reassurance to everyone who trains with us that you are learning coffee the right way, from the right people.
