Steven van Balberghe from Belgium -  Graduate of The International Butler Academy

You will find it useful to check out other schools. You must spend the time to study the web sites, speak to school representatives and send e-mails in case something is not clear. If at all possible you should visit so you can see first-hand what the school is all about, speak with current students as well as ask your questions directly to the trainers and management.

Drs. Gonnie Klein Rouweler - Executive Director - Senior Etiquette and Protocol Instructor - The International Butler Academy You have our word!

We are confident that you will decide to invest your hard earned money in our school, and by doing so, enter into a new career full of promises. When making a large investment, you should know what choices you have and which school is considered the best; enabling you to reach your goals.

We are very proud of our school and our training courses. You will be too. You have our word!


Copyright Materials?

After evaluating the various schools, their web sites and their brochures, it is clear that some seek to copy materials from our school. One brochure we received literally copied every word from our web site. One school copied our "Case Studies" page with our corporate clients onto their web site, almost word for word. We are pleased that even our colleagues know that our materials are superior to theirs. Even our name is copied here and there. We trust that interested students will verify information, do their research, ask the right questions and make the right decision.

What does worry us is that there are people out there who claim to have earned our diploma when they have not, belong to our faculty staff when they do not, or say they use to work for us when they never did. We trust that corporations, like potential students, will practice due diligence when looking for a company to work with. Please check with us.
