August 11, 2014: "Dear faculty, my name is Joanne Barrow, and I am a graduate (March 2002) of the International Butler Academy. After many years since my time in The Netherlands, working primarily as a Nanny and Household Manager in the US, I found myself today reviewing my school materials from 12 years ago to find a specific protocol procedure I had remembered studying at TIBA. So many times over the years, I have leaned on the experiences I gained at TIBA. The education and diploma I received set me apart from others in my field and gave me an edge that has opened doors beyond my wildest expectations. The formal training I received as a Butler, and other short courses in private service excellence have driven me to take my 23 years of hands-on experience to a new level. I left TIBA with great memories, but more importantly, with a deep and thorough understanding of service excellence, transferable within any area of the private service industry. In 2013, I was named The International Nanny Association's "Nanny of the Year."

Damijan Ostojic. "Thank you for putting together such a team of professional trainers and, most of all, good people. The time spent at The International Butler Academy changed my life. I learned a new way of thinking and obtained a new attitude. I gained a new sense of professionalism. Thank you for everything."

Bruno Constant. "From the student accommodations to the grand mansion we worked in, and from stationery equipment to our butler's uniform, The International Butler Academy exceeded my highest expectations. I am very honored to have been your student. You taught us humility, kindness, and, most importantly, passion and priceless knowledge."

Mereta Bailey. "At The International Butler Academy, 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 training program. Thank you for everything."

Marc van Eekelen. "The International Butler Academy not only offered me a superb training program, but the school also assisted me in planning my career. They placed me in the ultimate job with a wonderful family. I am proud to be part of the "TIBA family". Thank you."

Jeroen van de Geer. "Thanks to The International Butler Academy, I am now employed as a 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 ambassadors."

Els Verburg. "The training program at The International Butler Academy is indeed difficult, even exhausting, but it is also very rewarding. I not only learned professional house management but also ended up with some great new friends. The whole educational experience was memorable. I will never ever forget my time at TIBA."

John Macbeth. "Courses and instructors are engrossing and candid. The curriculum is highly absorbing, and its instructors showcase professionalism with frank examinations of private service on every level, from the offbeat to the mainstream. They are committed to bringing out the best. The International Butler Academy placed me with one of its clients in the USA."

Eddy Craenen. "I would like to express my gratitude towards you for guiding me into the fine world of Butling.

It was a privilege to receive training and guidance from such great professionals."

Heidi Smale. "Coming from a hotel management school, the switch to The International Butler Academy was more natural than I thought it would be. Excellence is not easily achieved, but with the fine TIBA trainers, the learning experience was very pleasant. Thanks to you, I now run my own Personal Assistant business."

Mark Dijkens. "After graduating from The International Butler Academy, 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 could never have dreamt of ending up where I am today. Normally dreams do not come true. This one did. Thank you, TIBA."

Wen Shan. "Thank you for taking such good care of me. I enjoyed every single minute at The International Butler Academy. The whole experience was fabulous. I know TIBA to be the finest school of its kind in the world. Your training is second to none. I am back in China, and I will speak with much pride about my time spent with you."

Patsy Paul. "The training program I took at The International Butler Academy 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. 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."

Fernando Arango. "The International Butler Academy was an incredible experience, one that I will cherish for the rest of my life. My time spent at TIBA was very rewarding, and I am filled with gratitude. I hope the time will come when I can give something back to TIBA. Thank you very much."

Being employed in private service and with many years of experience, the training at The International Butler Academy gave me the edge I needed to excel in my profession."

George Sindram. "What strikes me most about the training at The International Butler Academy 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 me, the experience made us all "better people. We learned more than we bargained for."

Benjamin Klose. "Thank you very, very much for an unforgettable time and experience at The International Butler Academy. I enjoyed every moment and consider the experience a great gift for my professional future. It is a great honor to be an Ambassador of The International Butler Academy."
