A Butler is trained for Private Households, Estates, Hotels,
Cruise Liners, Jets, and Luxury Establishments where
attention to detail; intelligently executed, anticipatory, and
almost invisible service are expected and appreciated:
The South African Butlers Academy Training essentially
encompasses superb butler theory in conjunction with
each practical session.
Our Trainers - certified by the SA Butlers Guild - are
recognized by Leading Resorts, Hotels , Private Airlines and
Superior Private Homes across the world!
More recently by British Petroleum South Africa as a Butler
training institute who is one of the leading Butler
Academies worldwide.
The Butler Academy travels the world - training Resorts and
Hotels establishing the best relationship between SABA and
the international hospitality.
At the South African Butler Academy we pride ourselves
in combining traditional butler etiquette with modern
training methods.
This of course depends on your position, but being a
Butler nowadays is very much a managerial, almost
executive occupation.
After all, the Butler is responsible for just about everything
that is happening (or not happening) in and around the
house.
You could be hiring, training and instructing personnel.
Strictly speaking the Butler is not responsible for the
gardener(s) and the chauffeur(s), but more often than
not, they are also his responsibility.
Usually the Butler is not in charge of nannies. Most Butlers
consider this a perk.
The Butler manages and administers the household
budget. He or she takes care of any house guests and
also might prepare the guest room with flowers, towels,
fruit, drinks or whatever.
The Butler deals with contractors or any other outside
personnel, supervising their work.
The South African Butler Academy provides some of the worlds
grandest employment opportunities to our Butlers. Our success
depends on gaining a thorough understanding of the culture,
needs and goals of the household.
We then tailor job – descriptions with our clients that are true,
honest effective and marketable. Our goal is to attract the
cream of the private employment market.
Training is just as important as Employment; we at the South
African Butler Academy strive for the highest placement rates in
order to offer an all inclusive package to you as our new SABA
Student.
Once training is completed and you are employed we offer
and open door policy at the Butler Academy we become your
new “Butler Family”.
Our commitment is to help clients and candidates navigate
successfully through periods of employment and training.
The Butler Academy sits on the board of executive companies
in South Africa making decisions on ways to better the
hospitality industry for guests travelling to South Africa.
The South African Butler Academy hosts a course dedicated to
the “True Art of Service” In South Africa we can offer more and
