Social Programmes

To build up your confidence, emotional resilience and self belief, we incorporate emotional training into our social programmes. Boosting your EQ will quickly help you become more independent and a better team-player. Acquiring these soft skills and coping mechanisms will also be beneficial beyond work, and especially in times of stress.

Want to be Bettr at the game? Then learn from the best. As a world-class professional academy, you can expect a holistic syllabus that will not only impart technical skills in coffee, but also help you with mental training and developing self-discipline. You will receive accredited qualifications, giving you an edge over the rest in interviews.

In addition, you’ll be surrounded by industry experts and award-winning F&B professionals, and colleagues and mentors who want to see you succeed.

A good dose of physical training is part of our social programmes, because we believe healthier bodies are inextricably linked with healthier minds. You'll be exposed to  a range of physical activities including yoga, hiking, and rock climbing. By encouraging socialisation, teamwork and fostering camaraderie, we think you can grow speedily into a Bettr you.

Your paid internship will allow you to explore an exciting career in the F&B industry. With your newly-acquired skillset, qualifications and EQ training, you'll certainly open up doors upon graduating from our social programmes. 

The Bettr Holistic Training (HT) programme requires students to pay a nominal fee of S$300. This can be paid in parts and may be flexible to ensure it is manageable for the student (e.g. $100 per month for 3 months upon the start of their work experience phase). The rest of the programme fees worth up to S$10,000 are subsidised.
