Dear prospective student,
Coming to The International Butler Academy has been a dream of mine for a long time. With hurdles on the way, I finally made the dream come true.
People think butlers are a thing of the past or just in movies. I mean, only the likes of Bruce Wayne can have a butler, right? Only a few know of the butlers working tirelessly behind the scenes, providing the highest levels of service, loyalty, trust, discretion, and excellence to their principals.
Some may ask where these butlers come from. During your ten weeks at TIBA you will learn all these skills and more. You will be introduced to a world you did not know existed or is even possible. You will learn to get to know yourself on a different level and what you are capable of and even unlock your inner butler to be able to perform these skills with great style and decorum. You will be pushed beyond your limits; some days, it will feel endless, but then some days, you will have so much fun, and time will just fly by.
The field trips are a lot of fun, and you get to experience the different aspects of a butler and his duties. Tiba has the best trainers with many years of experience that will keep you on the edge of your seat, they get you out of your comfort zone and help you improve yourself, either the correct etiquette, table service, or any of the skills a butler should master.
At the end of the program, when you leave the school, it will feel like it was all just a dream, then when holding your diploma in your hand and realizing that you completed this challenging experience, proving to yourself that you are made to be a butler and that you can achieve anything you put your mind to, makes this coarse and training experience worth it over and over again.
My advice to you is to come with an open mind, learn and take in as much as you can because ten weeks will go by faster than you can imagine. Be true to yourself, and most importantly, enjoy every moment.
Sincerely, Eduard Bruwer - South Africa
