FAQs
Q. I am worried about speaking publicly because my English is not good.
Lots of chefs struggled with English before they started with Migrateful but have
been able to build their language skills with us. We will help you practise during
training and public classes will always have a facilitator – a member of staff who
supports the chef. However, we do ask that our chefs have Entry Level 2 English.
Q. Will I be able to teach classes if I don’t have the legal right to work?
Yes, if you do not have the legal right to work, you can teach classes. Migrateful
will pay for ingredients and travel costs and you may also be eligible for our
Solidarity Fund of £30 per week.
