CQI-Q Grader Coffee Quality Grader Certification Course (Arabica) (Q Arabica Grader Combo Exam & Training Course)

The senses are an important foundation of coffee, so the Coffee Quality Institute (CQI) of the International Coffee Quality Association established Q Grader to establish international appraisal standards for specialty coffee and train relevant professionals, and to provide training and technical support to coffee producers and individuals or groups in the industrial chain, so as to promote the sustainable development of coffee, promote the infrastructure construction of coffee producing countries and improve the quality of coffee.

Q Grader is different from the general certificate course. It uses the strictest sensory test system to taste and test the value and flavor of coffee, and pays more attention to coffee cup test, raw and cooked bean test, coffee roasting test and sensory evaluation, etc. Therefore, it attaches great importance to the professional training of students and is the golden key to enter the highest hall in the coffee field! At the same time, CQI also welcomes the coffee industry and novices to apply for reading. As it is about improving sensory ability, it can better test whether you have a golden tongue. As long as you follow the guidance of your mentor, many novices can take pass!

Q-Grader is an internationally recognized coffee tasting standard. No matter coffee farmers, traders, coffee education and training institutions, baristas, etc., will use this standard to evaluate coffee quality. Students receive strict professional training to improve the ability to taste coffee quality and flavor.
