To be a barista trainer you need to know how to train. You need to be a teacher. You need to know more than the trainee.
To be a really good barista trainer you need to be a really good teacher. Even if you know more it won't matter if you cannot effectively communicate it.
Are you patient? Are you well spoken? Do you love helping people understand and coaching them? Do you love teaching?
You might want to become a trainer.
