Cafe Imports is hosting a BGA Certification member driven event and barista educational jam Friday January 20th and Saturday January 21st, put together by EC member Noah Namowicz and Chapter Rep Joe Marrocco.

Keith Mrotek from Dogwood Coffee of Minneapolis and Gordon Bellaver from Bull Run Coffee of Minneapolis are working in conjunction with the crew over at CI to help put this event together.

Friday from 8:00AM to 5:00PM will consist of various educational courses aimed at providing a great base of knowledge for those looking to get BGA level 1 certified.

Saturday at 9:00 AM they will cover some more in depth barista training, followed by certification testing from 12 noon until testing is done.
