Culinary Academy is training, not employment.
When you join Culinary Academy, you attend as a student or trainee, not as a worker or employed chef. The Course is designed to give you practical training, supervised experience, and preparation for future work, but attending Culinary Academy does not mean you are working professionally during the Course.
You are there to learn in a structured training environment, not to work as paid kitchen staff.
This means that, as a Culinary Academy student:
you are not employed by Quarterdeck through the Course
you are not attending as hired hospitality staff
you are participating in a practical training programme
However, you must still comply with all safety, operational, and conduct requirements during the Course. This includes following instructor directions, taking part in safety briefings, carrying appropriate travel insurance, and disclosing any medical, dietary, allergy, or accessibility requirements that may affect your safe participation.
If you are asking about working after Culinary Academy, the position is different. Professional hospitality work may involve separate requirements relating to visas, work permits, and local rules.
