Certificado em Cursos Online - Serviço Privado

If you cannot afford to break away from work for a couple of months or afford the fees for training at a formal butler school, an online or long-distance learning course becomes a viable option.

It is also an ideal way to increase your knowledge depth and gain another perspective and more skills to complement any training already done at a bricks-and-mortar school.

These courses are for:

Anyone who would like to become a butler.

Anyone currently in any position in private service would like to widen their skills base, improve their level of service, or move into the butler profession.

Butlers already in service may belong on experience but short on formal butler training and would like a credential.

Housekeepers in private estates.

The courses on offer are all based on the books  Serving the Wealthy, Volume I and II.

In addition to the full course, the Institute now offers several shorter courses focused on specific areas and subjects for people who want to polish their skills in just those areas.

All online courses include checklists detailing the reading and practical assignments and projects to be done. Progress for students in the Western Hemisphere is supervised by Prof. Steven Ferry personally. Mr Amer Vargas supervises students in the Eastern Hemisphere and Spanish-speaking countries. The course in Management Skills is supervised by Prof. Richard Ratliff, co-author of  Serving the Wealthy Volume I . All students have an open line via e-mail to their instructors for questions about their materials and assignments to receive guidance on professional matters.

The full butler/household manager course takes about 400 hours of full-time study – this is comparable to an 8-10 week course offered in a bricks-and-mortar school. But unlike a bricks-and-mortar school, each subject can be and is covered in more depth than one ever could in an 8-10 week course. In a traditional school, each student is surrounded by other students who must share one teacher’s time & attention. One is forced to go at more or less the same pace as the rest of the class, whether one has fully grasped that subject or needs more practice or not. Whereas with the one-on-one tutor and open schedule you will have in our online courses, you will be able to spend as much time on a subject or practical application as you feel you need to master it.

The International Institute of Modern Butlers LLC is dedicated to raising service standards in all service professions through innovative on-site and long-distance consultation, training, books, and articles to bring about intelligently executed, anticipatory, and invisible service in the style of the traditional British Butler adapted to modern needs and markets around the world.

Our goal is to bring life and pleasure to the service experience for both those served and those providing the service, raising service levels, efficiency, and morale and lowering costs and turnover. Whether establishing butler service for the first time or raising service standards of butlers or other personnel, the Institute's consultants and trainers around the world can help achieve your goals.
