Dear Prospective Student,

Students attending The International Butler Academy have their personal reasons. Some pursue their dream job, some are attracted by the glamour TV image of Butler working for the Rich and Famous and some attend with a desire to advance their career or social standing. A number of students are sent by their employers.

Whatever reason you may have and regardless of your background, age and experience, The International Butler Academy (TIBA for short), takes you in and is committed to deliver the program rigorously as they promised. During the eight weeks TIBA works with you closely and sometimes painfully intimately to train you, to guide you and to mold you to be the best Butler and person you can be. It's up to you to take as much as you can.

As a manager for the past 20 years, I attended many training programs merely sitting in the classroom, listening to the lectures, touring some interesting sites, visiting some interesting people and eventually getting a certificate of completion, going home feeling I had accomplished something and two months later wondering what it was that I learned.

Unlike those training program described above, TIBA offers you not only the well developed curriculum teaching you the essential technical skills you need to be the best Butler, but also the opportunity to be the best you can be in whatever your chosen field.  The hands-on curriculum is designed and implemented with your best interests in mind and the excellent supplemental training through various field trip broaden your vision and your mind so you can further appreciated the essence of private service.

And then, the people at TIBA are exceptional.   From the Chairman, Executive Director, instructors, guest speakers and the head butler, they are not only there to teach, to train and to guide you but also to care for you personally.   It is their commitment to teach the "True Art of Service" and each of them embodies the concept by knowing your temperament and personality. They tailor their teaching, directives and encouragement to where you are in your eight weeks journey at TIBA.  These people work harder then the students and because of them you give all you you have and there is no holding back.

Through my TIBA experience, I have gained the knowledge and technical skills but most of all I understand and recommit myself to deliver the "True Art of Service" with such passion that I know it will give me the sustenance needed to press through to my highest potential. I owe my deepest gratitude to TIBA.

So, as a proud graduate from TIBA, I invite you to come and experience TIBA, your life will be enriched as much as you allow it and the return of your investment will be only limited by your own restrictions.

Sincerely,
Lily Hallett - USA
