What distinguish SABA from any other Butler Training Institutes?

Allow us to explain …

The SABA & Guild Recruitment not only provides the best employment to Butlers & Household Staff, but also assists each student with the most suitable employment, during and after the Butler Training course of eight weeks. We were the First Butler Training Institute in the World to offer a 10 week Butlers Course!

SABA is the only Butler Training Academy in Africa to offer this unique, an intensive eight-week Butler & Household Management Course. Even if a candidate has NO experience in hospitality, results at the end of this course serve as sufficient proof that the Academy Curriculum successfully sculpts each candidate to become the best Butler possible.

SABA were the ONLY Butler School in the World to successfully complete 5 Virtual Butler Training Course during Covid-19 in 2020.

The Butler Training offered by SABA is the most affordable and best value for money in the world. According to some European countries, we offer much more for only a third of the “normal fee”.
