LONG DISTANCE TRAINING

What if you cannot afford

• for your existing staff or new hires to take time off from their busy schedules for on-site training?
• or for them to train at a Butler school?

Or you prefer not to invest the $15,000 fee (on average), plus travel costs and wages for the two months spent training at a butler school, but you would still like your staff to receive some formal butler training?

Then an Internet-based correspondence/long-distance learning course may be a viable option.

The information employee trainees will receive from an Institute correspondence course will in many cases be more intensive than that available in butler schools. While there are copious amounts of practical assignments on these correspondence courses, the downside is obviously that there is no tutor on site to correct and demonstrate, and no field trips are arranged. This lack can be rectified in part by guidance on possible field trips and additional training (on such as firearms training or wine service) to be conducted in the local area, and a brief visit on site by Institute personnel at the conclusion of the training, if desired.

The course for those in the hospitality industry is based on the best-selling industry text, Hotel Butlers, The Great Service Differentiators, as well as many other industry books and DVD's. For an outline of this course, please

The Institute is also providing a course for housekeepers, which is based on the butler course and is about half its length.

The course for those in private service is based on the best-selling industry text, Butlers and Household Managers, 21st Century Professionals, as well as many other industry books and DVD's. For an outline of this course, please

All three correspondence courses include checklists detailing the reading and practical assignments, as well as projects to be done. Progress for students in the West is supervised by Mr Robinson. Students have an open line via email to him for questions, and receiving guidance on professional matters. Students in the East enjoy reduced fees that correspond to the income level of countries, and are under the supervision of Mr Budi Prihardjanto. Students in Spanish-speaking countries countries are supervised by Mr Amer Vargas and will soon have completely Spanish-language materials.

The two butler courses take about four months to do part time and cost $2,500, Students are expected to purchase their own course materials (books) via Amazon, which will cost approximately $300 depending on whether you purchase new or used books, and the post and packaging costs of said books ( which will vary depending on where in the world you live).

The Housekeeper course takes about two months to complete on an intense part time schedule and costs $900. Four books and two DVDs are purchased similarly for about $200.

All graduates receive certificates of completion from the Institute.

TESTIMONIALS

"I have been a head butler for many years at a world-class resort and tried for a long time to find the right butler school to improve my knowledge.

I finally found it in IIMB. I believe the Institute will become the best butler school in the world and am very proud to be one of its graduates." BP

"The correspondence course gave me the entire scope of the duties and responsibilities of the multi-skilled butler in meeting the differing needs of employers around the world.

I now understand the butler¹s frame of mind and his intention to achieve remarkable service. My great gratitude to my teacher for his guidance.” AF
