Wonderful training with most professional teachers Mr. Braam West and Ms. Jill Hunter. Eight absolutely amazing most informative days, I absolutely adore this training. It gave me full understanding of butler duty and responsibilities, I’ve learned standards, technical skills, vocabulary, body language. Last but not least comfortable ambiance that was created by Mr. West and Ms. Hunter they made us trust them from the moment we met, and of course outstanding humor which was cheering us up every day.

If looking forward to becoming a Butler then the SABA International Butler Academy is the very BEST place to be. Mr Cross and Mr West's teachings are so clear and understandable.I wasn't believing in myself and my capabilities but the moment that I arrived at SABA and started learning,all of my fears disappeared all thanks to Mr Cross and Mr West not forgetting Ms Hunter for always being there for me . Thank you so much SABA team I will never forget all your beautiful teachings, you have become the foundation of my life and you have changed my life to a better one. My words cannot be enough to express and explain how grateful I am to the SABA team .Thank you so much once again 💕Kindly RegardsLydia

This was my 2nd Butler training session. I can proudly tell this was the best training ever i had . A trainer like Newton must be rare to find. His sense of humors, how he keep the whole class so lively was incredible. His knowledge and skills are also a great advantage as he proudly shares those, so the students could put them in place in professional and personal life. Both of them are so friendly and easy to approach. If you are looking for a Butler trainer please contact SABA, they will get best out of your employees. Jill and Newton, it was a great honor to meet you and looking forward to cross our path later than sooner.

It was an amazing experience to be so wonderfully introduced to a word that is so often misused and misunderstood, that I would absolutely love to be a butler right now! I wish I could attend the academy so so much. Thank you Mr. Newton and Mrs. Jill for the imparted knowledge and the lasting memories you have gifted us! I wish you all the best! Keep calm and Butler On!Lady Fast~

I was following the SABA since 4years when i started my hotel management and fortunately i got this beautiful opportunity. I have been certified by SABA butler training and indeed for me it was one of the most spectacular experience. Our most inspiring & amazing mentor Mr. Newton & Ms. Jill were really really amazing. Their training techniques is outstanding. The values, ethics & standards of butler service SABA make us understand during the training is indeed fabulous. I got lot of learning, a lot of lovely and ever lasting memories from SABA. Thank you very very much Mr. Newton and Ms. Jill. You touched my heart. We all love SABA ❤️.

Come as a learner, Leave as a Butler!SABA Academy is just the excellence of providing outstanding service to new Butler/Villa Host or simple Hospitality team members. The “people touch” Mr Newton and Ms Jill put into this Butler Training was what we needed to enhance our personal life and our daily job tasks once at work performing as People and as Villa Hosts/Butlers.The laughs, the entertainment, the learning, the dance, the smiles… The most sensational Cocktail I’ve ever drank during a training in my whole life.A simple thank you from your “Mozzarella/Parmigiano/Dancer” Noemi and thank you for have made my job and my future life goals more clear thank to your training with SABA.
