Welcome to the South African Butler Academy, International Seven Star Hospitality Training Program. Imagine being immersed in a new culture, gaining valuable experience, growing personally and professionally while building international hospitality skills provided by the South African Butler Academy.

Top Hotels, Resorts, Lodges, Private Jets & Yachts across the world turn to the South African Butler Academy for our experience and effective training methods to up skill service staff members of each establishment or outlet. Recently we trained the entire staff component of the Banyan Tree Seychelles which is over 200 members. Our training team is extremely talented and loved by all we touch through training (please refer to our Hotel training blog with references). We are proud of our achievements and growing our network internationally training various members from different backgrounds and cultures.

Remember: proper preparation prevents poor performance, the words are key in the hospitality industry. We are pleased that our clients find that our services render a great return on their initial investment. Many times a lack of passion or skill exists and therefor it is important to act now and call the Academy to take over your training requirements. We are extremely pleased at our outcomes in our various programs and we are happy to assist you as our future client.
