Mr. Antonino Barone - Graduate of The International Butler Academy

We of course understand that one of your key concerns is the overall cost of the course.  We strive to keep the course as affordable as possible, while still providing the best hands-on education available. We train students for International Butling, not just for one market.

Mr. Giovanni Mautone - Graduate of The International Butler Academy


The total cost of the eight-week butler course is 12.500  Euros. The deposit fee (to confirm your participation) is 500 Euros. 
With the Euro is at an all-time high we wish to ease the pressure and offer to reimburse 50%  of your airfare to The Netherlands.  As you will find on this page, truly everything is included in the tuition fee.  Why did we decide to calculate this way?  The answer is that once you are studying with us you need not to worry about all the "little extra's" that students end up paying at other schools. With us you know the exact cost from start to finish.
 

In addition to superb course instruction, your investment includes;
  • Accommodation (single bedroom in a luxury, fully furnished bungalow),
  • Outstanding meals and beverages during the entire eight weeks, including days off.
  • All (international) transportation while at school,
  • Pick up from, and delivery to the airport or train station,
  • All (international) field trips,
  • Designer, high quality traditional butler suit,
  • Two white shirts (French cuff),
  • TIBA butler tie,
  • Two pair of white gloves,
  • TIBA cufflinks,
  • Various manuals, syllabi, stationery, pens etc.,
  • A number of books,
  • A large (pilot) briefcase, folders, and other materials,
  • Butler cigar cutter,
  • Butler (Laguiole) wine bottle opener/knife,

There are no additional charges

There are no additional curriculum charges or any "hidden costs".  We decided not to "break up" the tuition fee in difficult to understand parts.  It is for instance pointless to separate the room and board charges from the training costs as you will need to stay with us anyway.  Therefore, when you compare the actual cost of our training to other institutions you will find that our tuition fee is very realistic and you know upfront what the total cost is.

A worthwhile investment

Considering the excellent salaries professionally trained butlers earn plus the opportunities on the international job market, the tuition fee is a solid  investment.
