The qualification is offered as part of the Compass Master Barista scholarship where baristas receive special training, attend sponsor days and improve their skills.
The five baristas will shortly be taking their SCA Professional Skills exam making them the first within Compass Group UK & Ireland to achieve this level of accreditation.
Sonali Tailor, coffee educator and training manager, said: "We are incredibly proud of this standard-setting success from the Master Barista group.
“They have set the bar high for all future recipients of the Master Barista scholarship and we hope this pushes the rest of the academy to strive for this qualification also.”
The Barista Academy, launched in 2018, was formed so Compass could continue its investment in developing a range of ‘quality’ coffee offers.
