What are the entry criteria?

Except for a working knowledge of English, no previous training or experience is required.  "School English" is fine. We are a butler school and not a language school. Your English capabilities will not be graded. Of course you must be able to communicate in English and understand the lessons which are all in English. Gender and age are not important either. What is very important is having a service oriented attitude and the right personality for this esteemed profession.

Approximately 20 percent of our students are female. The youngest student to date was 20 years of age. The oldest student to date was 68 years of age.  We placed the 68 year old student with a hotel in New York, USA.  Butling is one profession where age is not important. Make no mistake, success is not guaranteed.  Success requires devotion and the ability to combine energy, passion and commitment.
