When striving for a career in the most prestigious establishments in the world, becoming a butler in one of the world's leading and most exclusive hotels and resorts is an honour. Build your foundation with a comprehensive understanding of luxury services tailored specifically for a butler career in five-star Hotels & Resorts. 

We designed this intensive four-week training program for those who aspire to master the art of Hotel and Resort butling at the highest level, serving the global elite. Whether you are already working in the world of luxury hospitality in a F&B or Rooms Division Team, or aspire a future role in this field,  this training program is for you. Our trainers focus not only on practical skills but also on cultivating the butler's mindset. You will gain insight into the role of a butler, including the traditional philosophy that underpins this prestigious position, as well as the modern techniques employed today. The core of this training is based on the power of our four P’s: Passion, Professionalism, Pro-active and Personalized service. This will give you an instant advantage as you start your career. 

The training is at The International Butler Academy, where hands-on learning is prioritized. Several events are organized to test your skills, and you will work with actual clients under the guidance of our expert trainers. Besides that, personal development is a key aspect of becoming a respected butler, and therefore, a recurring theme throughout our training.

While opportunities abound worldwide, skilled professionals remain in short supply. Through its recruitment department and its Hotel & Resort partnership program, TIBA can assist you in securing a job or internship anywhere in the world.
