Dear prospective student,
If you are considering attending The International Butler Academy and questioning whether you are ready for what it demands, you are not alone. I stood at that same point, before taking a leap of faith in myself. What moved me forward was a conscious decision to seek challenges, to be held to a higher standard, and to step beyond my comfort zone. What followed was an experience that tested and sharpened me, ultimately confirming that this was exactly where I needed to be.
I arrived quietly and observantly, taking time to understand the environment's discipline, structure, and expectations. It quickly became clear that this was no ordinary training programme but a place where I would be pushed to my limits, both physically and mentally. As the programme progressed, I found my footing, strengthened my resilience, and developed confidence through consistent application.
What truly distinguishes TIBA from anywhere else is its immersive nature. You learn by doing, by being placed in demanding, real-life situations where precision, composure, and attention to detail are paramount. Standards are high, and excellence is non-negotiable, but within this framework, the greatest growth occurs, and you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your capabilities.
The staff at TIBA are also deeply invested in each student's development. Their guidance and knowledge create an atmosphere where you are supported, challenged, and expected to rise to the occasion.
Attending The International Butler Academy has had a profound impact on my life, extending far beyond professional development. It has recalibrated my standards, strengthened my confidence, and reshaped my sense of self. I am proud to represent an institution that holds such high expectations and grateful to have trained under professionals of the highest calibre. It has become a true anchor in my transition into private service, one I hold with genuine respect and gratitude.
If there is one piece of advice I would offer, it is that you take from this experience exactly what you are prepared to put in, and what you leave with is something deeply personal, hard-earned, and long-lasting.
Sincerely
Monica Kaur Hayer - November 2025
