Ever since my association with the academy viz – 2002 , it is observed that any positive suggestions given for improvement are immediately implemented. The great thing here is that resources available are invested properly and new kitchens , classes and labs are initiated. This is what we are actually looking for in the cruise industry which will help to synergise with the cruise ships. What I like the most in this academy whenever I visit is the enthusiasm and the dedication of both the students and the faculty. They are very passionate and it is very much visible that they love this profession.

The learning process in the Hyderabad campus of Costa is unique as it incorporates a lot of simulated training. A simulation of this kind requires an infrastructure which is world class and CAI has been highly instrumental in providing all the infrastructure and training required for the future Costa Chefs. My regular input has furthered the cause to have a better product output.

	Chef Mathew Cropp Executive Chef The Oberoi Mumbai
I have been recruiting graduates from this academy ever since my stint with the Maratha Sheraton, Mumbai, ITC Sonar Bangla, Kolkata and now The Oberoi, Mumbai. It’s been over 5 years now, I have always found the students of this academy very creative and a niche above the rest of the other catering institutes. The curriculum is well designed and very focused on the needs of an exciting, global and expanding hospitality industry. The experience of the chef instructors with backgrounds of International cuisine, service standards and awareness is excellent. The equipment and layout of food service areas is very representative of real food preparation and service establishment.

	Prasad Hariharan Manager – Human Resources Fleet Maritime Services (India) Pvt Ltd
The success of any institution is largely dependent on its faculty and without any qualms on hard work , high energy levels and a display of passion for excellence. Team CAI has got a dedicated team of faculty who are very focused in their approach towards training young people. The Academy apart from imparting culinary skills inculcate good old fashioned values , which stand by the students in good stead when they join the industry . Their professionalism is evident in the product and it is not surprising that hoteliers and cruise liners prefer to absorb them.
