On the contrary, any school, even Peking University Tsinghua, can't learn if you don't study hard.
So whether you can learn real skills depends on two aspects.
First, it is school teaching. If teaching is good, students can learn real skills. If the teaching is not good, the teacher's management is not in place, and naturally you can't learn professional skills. In this case, you don't have to worry. Professional cooking school is taught by excellent teachers.
Second, it depends on the students themselves. The teacher is willing to teach you a lot, whether the students are willing to accept it and whether they are studying hard.
