Guest speakers are much appreciated lecturers of The International Butler Academy.  These dedicated men and women are mostly employed in private service or otherwise somehow affiliated with private service.

Guest speakers provide our students with vital, to the point and accurate information of the life "below stairs".

Due to the sensitive nature of the private service profession, and the fact that a number of our guest speakers are currently employed in private service, we cannot list all of them on this page.  Nevertheless we wish to introduce a few of them to you.

Guest Speakers include, but are not limited to;
