Espresso Academy in Italy issues it, and the diploma is emailed to you. The school that taught you in Bengaluru is Espresso Academy India, an Official Partner of Espresso Academy, Florence. The certificate names the academy as “Espresso Academy India, under the supervision of Espresso Academy Florence”. The teaching happens here; the certificate comes from there.
Basic Barista and Advanced Barista and Advanced Roasting. IBC Basic is four days and assumes no machine experience. Above it sit two Advanced courses of two days each, Advanced Barista for the bar and Advanced Roasting for the roaster.
The certificate is part of the course fee, so there is nothing separate to pay for it. The fee for each course, quoted with and without GST, is on that course's page. ₹5,000 holds a seat, and the balance is paid on day 1 at the academy, by cash, UPI or bank transfer, not by card.
3 courses at the Bengaluru campus lead to it. Each is listed below with the level it sits at. If you are not sure which one matches what you can already do, send a message describing your experience and ask which to start at.
A certificate helps you get an interview; your skills get you the job. Ask us which employers recognise the IBC in your city and we will answer plainly.

No. The academy runs the Italian Barista Course, not an SCA course, and it does not assess for SCA certification. What it teaches is training aligned to the SCA Coffee Skills Program, which describes the standard rather than the certificate. If the SCA route is specifically what you want, ask and you will be told where to take it.
Send your background in one message and ask whether this certificate helps you, and which course to start on if it does. Every fee is on the course pages, quoted with and without GST.
