I only speak for myself but as a barista, I do not hold any sort of certification or "diploma." As an barista employer, I find those certifications to be dubious at best.

I would suggest include it on your business cards and paperwork as a start.

Though amongst the barista community 'qualifications' do not have as much recognition as 'results' they are useful when promoting yourself to other businesses - perhaps contract caterers or other businesses who specialise in food/service but are looking for consultants or trainers for their coffee programs - coffee is often a large part of heir profits and promoting excellent coffee through larger companies is in my opinon a great way to introduce more customers to better quality coffee and improve the overall market???
