Hard to imagine somebody going to Culinary Institute classes who
didn't already know those things. But the video itself is as clear
and straightforward as it could be. -aem

It sounds to me like workshops for non-professionals who are in for
something like a day or 3 day course and who very likely don't know
much about knives.
The video probably cuts down on the amount of time the instructor
spends in the intro to the course.

The dumb masses are among us.

A few years ago 2 of my daughters applied for admission to a cooking class
that had several pre-requisites. They had not taken the appropriate classes.
The Instructor said " let me see you each cut a rib of celery" after
watching their knife work he said "OK you're in"

Not that I'm a proud Papa or anything.

I like that. If only the idea had more support from the rest of society...

Oh, I know someone who teaches at one. You'd be surprised.

considering the quality of some people's work, i'm not sure it's
universally a good thing.

Maybe not the usual person going to Culinary Institue classes, but this
website is for a conference on nutrition for healthcare providers, - the
website says

"These experts will be joined by world class chef educators from The
Culinary Institute of America to lead demonstrations and hands-on teaching
sessions (literally in the kitchen) for health care providers who wish to
learn about selection, purchase and preparation strategies and techniques
for healthy foods and healthy cooking."

So I imagine many would not necessarily have much background in cooking, or
not this level of skills anyway.

The video certainly is good - I've never had any sort of cooking training
(other than high school classes many many years ago!) and am the first to
admit my knife skills could stand improving (while I like to cook, baking
is my first love), so I'm finding it very useful.
