Send or e-mail us your Resume (CV) plus
a current photo and indicate which course
you wish to attend. Make
no mistake, success is not a guarantee. Success requires
motivation, devotion and the ability to combine passion, dedication and energy.
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. |

A true and real household
The personalities, challenges and situations
we created for our students are to simulate,
and give you the experience of a real
household. Rather than lecturing you and
then testing your understanding with
narrowly focused question sheets, the idea
is to set you a large, complex puzzle. This
puzzle is modeled on a real household as
closely as possible. As you grapple with the
puzzle, you are forced to learn the subject
matter of our butler training course. This
is why close to 95% of our students graduate
successfully and close to 85% end up in
rewarding positions, somewhere in the world.
