Marc van Eekelen - Graduate of The International Butler Academy Mr. Marc van Eekelen. "TIBA not only offered me a superb eight-week course, the school also assisted me in planning my career. TIBA placed me in the ultimate job with a wonderful family. I am proud to be part of the "TIBA family". Thank you TIBA."
Mereta Bailey - Graduate of The International Butler Academy Mrs. Mereta Bailey. "While I was at TIBA I did not realize I was going through such a life enhancing experience. Looking back now I see how much I gained and I am truly grateful. Please do not change anything about the course. Thank you for everything."
Jeroen van de Geer - Graduate of The International Butler Academy Mr. Jeroen van de Geer. "Thanks to TIBA I am now employed as butler at the Burl Al Arab hotel in Dubai. I wish to thank the instructors and management for their support.  TIBA created this grand opportunity and I am proud to be one of its youngest ambassador."
Els Verburg - Graduate of The International Butler Academy Ms. Els Verburg, "It is true that the eight-week course is difficult, even exhausting. It is also very rewarding. I not only learned professional house management but also ended up with some great new friends. The whole two-month educational experience was memorable. I will never forget my time at TIBA."
John Macbeth - Graduate of The International Butler Academy Mr. John Macbeth, "Courses and instructors are engrossing and candid. Curriculum is highly absorbing and its instructors showcase professionalism with frank examinations of private service on every level from the off beat to the mainstream. They are committed to bringing out the best. TIBA placed me with one of its client in the USA."
Heidi Smale - Graduate of The International Butler Academy Ms. Heidi Smale, "Coming from a hotel management school, the switch to TIBA was more natural than I thought it would be. Excellence is not easily achieved, but with the fine TIBA instructors the learning experience was very pleasant. I now run my own Personal Assistant business."
Mark Dijkens - Graduate of The International Butler Academy Mr. Mark Dijkens.  "After graduating from TIBA, the school placed me in a top butler position with a marvelous family in England. I live on the estate with my wife and our two children. I never could have dreamt to end up where I am today. Normally dreams do not come true. This one did. Thank you TIBA."
Patsy Paul - Graduate of The International Butler Academy Ms. Patsy Paul. "The butler course I took at TIBA was quite an experience. At times I was so tired, emotionally exhausted,  that I wanted to give up but I am proud I didn't and that I now hold the official diploma. I enjoyed TIBA, the Dutch people and the country tremendously. I went back to the US with many fond memories."
Wilfried Boisson - Graduate of The International Butler Academy Mr. Wilfried Boisson. "Thank you for trusting me. The feeling of confidence that you granted me increased my desire to become a superb butler. Thank you also for placing me at the beautiful castle with your client in France.  Incredible how TIBA placed me in a top butler job, immediately following the course."
Rachel Clough - Graduate of The International Butler Academy Ms. Rachel Clough. "Coming from the US it felt like a privilege to occupy a historic castle. The bungalows were fantastic and so were the trainers, the food and everything else. The training curriculum at TIBA is incredible. The homework was at times overwhelming. The two months flew by too fast."
George Sindram - Graduate of The International Butler Academy Mr. George Sindram. "What strikes me most about the training at TIBA is the emphasis on character building. I would never have guessed that a butler school would pay so much attention to such a topic. For my fellow students and for me the experience made us all "better people. We learned more than we bargained for."
Anita Franks - Graduate of The International Butler Academy Ms. Anita Franks. "In the field of Estate Management, one must look beyond just getting the job done. One must accomplish a variety of functions with a sense of style rising to the level of art. Being employed in private service and with many years of experience, the training at TIBA gave me the edge that I needed to excel in my profession."
