Why did we decide to calculate this way and why
is everything included?
The answer is that once you are studying with us
you need not to worry about all the many extra's students end up paying at other
schools.
With us everything is included. Simple. We also arrange superb accommodation for you
rather than leave you to your own fate, with you
ending up at an overpriced and perhaps inadequate
accommodation. Students living together is also
an important part of our overall
curriculum. |

Once you are at our school there are no additional charges. None.
There are no additional curriculum charges or
any "hidden costs". Nothing! Considering the excellent salaries
professionally trained butlers earn, plus the
opportunities on the international job market
through our affiliates
as well as our own recruitment division the tuition fee is a solid investment in
your future. Note that we are extremely proud of
the way we have structured the tuition fee and
that everything included is of high
quality. Guaranteed.

Also important to consider
Training takes place in a unique 14th
century Castle called Kasteel Oost. The
location is very important for our
role-playing and also to give you the
feeling of where you might be working in
the future. Students have access to all
school facilities including the school's
extensive library. The International
Butler Academy uses only the very finest
and most expensive Chrystal, China,
Silver and more.
During your training with us there will
be numerous events where you, your
fellow students and the trainers will be
part of. From very formal dinners to
casual lunches, from a lovely wedding to
an afternoon tea, you will experience it
all.
Don't be fooled with programs
costing less. Consider the overall
picture. Read the letters of
reference some graduates wrote and you will understand. These students did their research.
Do yours and invest your money wisely.
Travel reimbursement
We wish to
make sure that students decide on a
school because of the school's
qualities, not because the school is
around the corner. When you sign up for
a course more than three months before the start
of a course you will receive a 50% air travel
reimbursement from us. in case
a student signs up for a course less
than 3 months before the start of the
course the reimbursement is 25%. In case
a student signs up less than 2 months
before the start of the course, or joins
a course which is "full", there is
no reimbursement. Travel reimbursements
are only eligible when payments are received on
time.
Students who are expelled due to their own
negligence, misconduct or who leave the course before graduation are not
entitled to a refund of any kind.
Deposits are nonrefundable if the student
decides, for any reason, not to attend, but may be applied towards a future course.
