Professional Code of Conduct
Student Practitioners are required to conform to a professional code of conduct based on the approach adopted in professional employment. The requirements of the code are related to the expectations of professional industry culture.
It ensures that Student Practitioners’ personal and professional development includes the attitude and behaviour that is expected at the highest levels of the industry. The key components are:
• Attendance
• Punctuality
• Professional dress and behaviour
• Preparation for work and practical sessions
• Cooperation in team working as an essential part of the learning process.
Uniforms
All students are required to wear uniforms issued by the EDGE Hotel School, whilst on the premises of Wivenhoe House or representing the EDGE Hotel School at an external function. Academic Practitioners and the Hotel General Manager have the right to ask Student Practitioners to leave the hotel if an inappropriate or incomplete uniform is worn.
Personal appearance
In addition to wearing the EDGE Hotel School uniforms, Student Practitioners should observe the highest standards of personal presentation to meet industry expectations.
