SCA Roasting Course in English — İzmir
SCA Roasting Certification
Foundation + Intermediate — in English
Four days on real machines. Two official SCA certificates, exam fees included. Taught by Ömer Aydın — SCA Authorized Trainer & Licensed Q Instructor.
Not another slideshow course
The certificates are official SCA. What happens between the exams is what you're paying for.
Instrumented roasting
Every roast you make runs against a live projection engine built in-house. It reads your crack timeline and pace, and guides your development toward a target color — you calibrate yourself, roast after roast.
Your data goes home with you
Your reference maps, recorded lessons and self-grade accuracy (error and bias per roast) export as a CSV. You leave with your own measured record — not just a certificate.
Everything included
Both SCA exam and certificate fees, meals, green coffee, and full lab time are in the price. No add-ons appear later.
AST + Q Instructor
Ömer Aydın — SCA Authorized Trainer and Licensed Q Instructor — teaching in his own working roastery in İzmir, on machines from 1 kg sample size up to production class.
Your trainer
The certificate is SCA's. The four days are his.
Ömer Aydın
Ömer holds both the SCA's trainer authorization and the Q Instructor license — a combination few trainers anywhere carry. The AST authorization lets him certify you; the Q license means the sensory judgment behind every roasting decision he teaches is examined at the industry's highest grading standard.
He teaches inside his own working roastery in İzmir, on the machines that produce CoffeeNutz's coffee every week — what you learn is production reality, not classroom theory.
And he built his own instrument for teaching it: a live roast-projection engine that listens to the crack, reads your pace, and guides your development to a target color. His classes are the only SCA roasting courses in the world taught with it — and your calibration data goes home with you.
"I don't teach recipes. I teach you to hear your roaster, measure yourself, and trust your own data."
The four days
Foundation and Intermediate in one continuous week — no experience required to start.
Foundation
The roasting cycle, heat transfer, first crack, roast degrees, and disciplined logging. You roast from day one.
Intermediate
Profile design and repeatability, development-phase control, color measurement, common defects and how they cup, and connecting sensory results back to your profile decisions. SCA's current minimum for Intermediate is two days — we teach it over three, because repetition on the drum is where it sticks.
Assessment
Both modules close with the official SCA written and practical assessments. Certificates are issued through SCA — fees already included.
Going all the way? Professional runs 5–7 September
Add three more days and leave with all three SCA Roasting levels in a single trip — Professional is 65,000 ₺ until 1 October (then 85,000 ₺). Ask on WhatsApp when you book.
Four days in İzmir — the easiest serious training trip you can make
Türkiye is visa-free for citizens of Russia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Georgia and many other countries — and if you already live here, there's no trip at all. İzmir (ADB) is one short hop from İstanbul's global hub.
✓Cafe owners and baristas living in Türkiye — no travel needed at all.
✓Roasters from the region who want official SCA paper plus real machine hours.
✓Career changers starting from zero — Foundation assumes nothing.
Для русскоязычных гостей
Официальная сертификация SCA по обжарке — Foundation + Intermediate за четыре дня в Измире. Старт — 1 сентября. Обучение на английском языке, экзамены и сертификаты SCA включены в стоимость. Для граждан РФ и Казахстана виза в Турцию не нужна.
Сейчас в России ни один AST не авторизован вести модуль SCA Roasting — ближайшая страна, где таких тренеров десятки, это Турция.
Курс ведёт лично Омер Айдын — SCA Authorized Trainer и лицензированный Q-инструктор, основатель и главный обжарщик ростери CoffeeNutz.
Это последний поток по цене 60 000 ₺ (≈ €1 069) — с октября программа стоит 80 000 ₺. А 5–7 сентября идёт уровень Professional: все три уровня SCA Roasting за одну поездку.
