"I am thrilled to have done the Specialist Housekeeping Course with EBS. The amount of experience and knowledge shared is invaluable. It was intense but well-paced. All aspects of Private Household Housekeeping were covered both in the modules as well as in the practical part. I'm absolutely delighted to have attended. It has given me the confidence to take on a more varied role within the industry."

"I would definitely recommend the Exclusive Butler School. The team were friendly and informative; all of the modules were excellent. A unique and exceptional opportunity to visit places where it would be very difficult to get extensive access. For me personally, these were the most valuable parts of the course. In particular, the British Embassy in Paris."
