Butler school 

I've worked for reasonably 'old' money, and having their new money adult children on the premises is indeed like retail- it's in how the staff is treated.

Good news! There's now two different butler schools online, and they're significantly cheaper. One is based in South Africa, the other in Belgium. I haven't looked at the South African one, but the Belgian school is ~$1k total for all 12 courses with lifetime access, and then you have the option of going to the actual physical estate in Belgium for a two-week boot camp to get certified. I've dreamed of buttling ever since I saw that Great Big Story video on one of the butler academies, but, like you, can't justify coughing up 16k for something that's not guaranteed to pan out for me. Now I'm seriously considering doing the online portion of the Belgium school and seeing if I can get me foot in the door as a butler that way, without actually going for the full certification. If not, I can probably transfer those skills to something else- maybe PAing for a posthouse and working my way up to editor. Either way, my film degree cost probably three or four times what online butler school does.

@@youlleatamuffinandlikeit4596 very interesting thank you for the information, I have one problem though. How will butler school work online, it seems to me that butlering is a very hands on physical job, how will it work being taught online?

@@sladewilson4631 The online stuff is all theory, and most if not all of the physical stuff you can practice at home- carrying trays, dressing tables, making and dressing down beds, etc.

South Africa butler's academy (SABA) cost around 45000 rands .as I speak I don't even enough financial balance to integrate my daily needs. But with God I will go for my passion by grace🎉

Right and there are old money who flaunts their money (ie Lord of Bath).

No, that's a Valet.

It really depends on the principal. You won't be putting on their underwear or socks, but you may help zip/unzip or button/unbutton a lady's dress or hold a coat or jacket for the gentleman, possibly tying their ties.

They do that so the ink wouldn't transfer unto the hands of whoever holds it!

🤣😂🤣😂

I believe it's to teach them how to iron delicate fabrics. If they stay too long in one spot it could burn or leave a mark. Better to ruin a newspaper than expensive fabric.

Butler schools are rare but hospitality schools are all over the world. That schooling plus work experience in a fine hotel can lead to getting a good job in a wealthy private home.

Where do you live? As the world overall gains in wealth (even the poor have cell phones, something the middle class barely had 40 years ago), more and more butler schools are accessible.

I'm here because of Draco Edgeworth.

Don't apply for it until you know the difference between carrier and career.

@@grondhero LMAOOO That’s so petty but really funny!
