The Academy Where Butlers Are Born
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 бер 2017
- Learning to serve as a certified butler is both a skill and an art, and the world’s most elite butlers come from one place: The International Butler Academy in Simpelveld, Netherlands. Here, students spend 10 weeks in intensive training, living and working in a 135-room mansion where they learn everything from how to drive an armored car to napkin folding. Ready your coattails, we're going to butler school.

Nobody:
Owner: If he couldn't dodge a ball thrown at him at point blank range, what kind of butler would he be?
"If a Butler can't Dodge a ball at point blank range and not drop his dishes, he isn't worth his salt."
He would be worthy of the name
Alfred
"If you can Dodge a wrench, you can Dodge a ball."
they need to deflect the ball when its incoming at any moment. i think if they tried to dodge, it would increase the chances of the glasses sliding off
Definitely not *one hell of a butler*
"I am simply one hell of a butler."

Imagine serving a meal to your master and this guy pops out of nowhere and throws a ball at you
"Always pay attention!"
That was for new students to check their postures for how good assassin they will be
They need to be aware, maybe their masters have children or pets that like to run around. It's important for them to be vigilant for their safety
Well duh, you never know when u need to defend the family agaist an assasin
Tramatized Student: Start with only a ball but after....... comes the bullets.
Even at butler school there is dodgeball, there is no escaping kids
Thai schools didn't

Imagine being that one kid in kindergarten:

"I wanna be a firefighter!"
*"I WANNA BE A BUTLER!"*

It's a good well paying job.
He can be the princess's butler.
*and that's how kids I met your mother*
Butlers are usually hired by wealthy people. They get paid a pretty penny, I'm sure 💵💪🏾
What's wrong with being passionate about any job? It's a very respectable position, and it looks cool as hell

butlers teach other butlers butlering
“I am simply one hell of a butler.”

UGH i thought about him the minute i clicked on this video 😂😍
Yes, THANK YOU. I've looked for this comment haha.
Btw, we need Sebastian teaching them. 😂

I see you're a man of culture as well.

:0 im shook
:0 me too
:0 same.
:O Im more shocked than y'all
Why??
2:00 you can see him correcting the butler in training stance, he genuinely cares about his work.
I cant imagine having a butler. Even if I was fabulously wealthy it'd just feel wrong to have somebody serving me like that.
I mean it’s basically having a maid, I think if you pay them well and treat them well it’s what they’re trained to do
Good for you
Yeah that would be weird
Maids are so common so what's with butlers? Is it because maids are seen as sub human so it's okay but butlers are "sophisticated" so no?
@@EspeonMistress00 Butlers were the example because this is a video about butlers. I feel that way about any servant.

I work as a home health aide. I work in very rush homes and middle class homes. I can tell right away if you have ever had help before from the way you treat me.
I enjoy the cool detachment that those who have had help treat me more than the overly friendly or overtly hostile way those who have never had help do.
Those who have had help know that I know how to do my job and they leave me alone to do it. They don't micromanage or nit pick. They tell me what's expected and then leave. It's like dancing with a partner that knows the steps as a apposed to someone who has never danced before. Yes I could carry your end and we can dance awkwardly but it will never be as fluid as it is when both know the steps and do them well
Fascinating
0:54 the owner of the academy: "they age from 18 to 68"
me: "so he's just not powerful enough to teach 69 year old people I see"
Butler: walks normal
Owner:THROWS BALL *always pay attention*

Loooool
Honestly this looks like a really satisfying career choice. The big deterrent for me would be having to be VERY devoted. I would still want plenty of time to myself. I'm not sure what kind of hours they work though, is it typically a standard 40 hour week? I feel like it wouldn't be quite like that.
edit: a quick google search has told me that generally they work 60 hour weeks, with one day off, and around 4 weeks vacation a year. To be fair, I was working those kinds of hours when I worked two jobs (one full time one part time), except I didn't have any days off, so it's not TOO bad.
Not too bad, plus you'll usually live in the same house, you don't pay rent or food :)
they make a lot of money though
If I could do it all over again, I would love to do this. Just imagine the people you would get to meet! I think the perks of having the favor of people who could afford and value your loyal service to their family would be remarkable to say the least.
so... anime didn't lie to me, there really such a thing as butler academy's and female butlers.
> female butler
i do believe the proper term is "maid"
*edit: ok i get it. maids and butlers are two different occupations.
@@hollow_w33n those are two different things. Maid's don't wear butler suits. and have different responsibilties

Bruh there were literally women in this video who were training to be butlers
Hhh kuroshitsiju
Name of anime?
Butler: * carrying a tray*
Random dude: * throws ball at him * _always pay attention_
Throws ball at the glass
Maybe he was supposed to move the tray away from the ball.
This is something we had to do a lot in karate training. We were running around in a circle and our sensei would throw a small plastic ball at us. We had to be able to predict whether the ball will hit us or the people before/after us, and we had to defend oursleves or just keep running without reaction. It's actually a quite useful exercise, bc now anybody could throw a pen or sth at me in school and I'd catch it without even looking.
@@annalevai5512 well, that's useful. Would love to learn that.
@@annalevai5512 This the anime power everyone wants...... You would be a cool person in School
"The total cost of the 10-week, 800 curriculum hour butler training program, everything included, is 14.500 Euros"
2 and a half months course for 14.5k Euros??!! You already need to have money to even be a servant for the wealthy.
You need to spend 14.5k euro to be a slave or a rich person.
@@Youkai_graphics beta investment
Maybe super rich people just send their servants there to be super butlers. That's the only reason that can make believe that someone will pay that much for learning how to be a good servant
@יוסף אריה קהן still a crazy amount of money for a 2-month course. I'm not talking about the content of the course, for me it's a very fascinating thing to study but 2 months can't make you satisfied after paying this freakin amount of money.

When I was younger, I wanted to be a butler. This is the kind of school I would have attended, but life took a different turn.
A history of the word, courtesy of Wiki. The term "butler" comes from Anglo-Norman buteler, a variant form of Old Norman *butelier. This corresponds to the Old French botellier, meaning "officer in charge of the king's wine bottles," derived from boteille "bottle" (Modern French Bouteille), itself from Gallo-Romance BUTICULA "bottle." For centuries, the butler has been the attendant entrusted with the care and serving of wine and other bottled beverages, which in ancient times might have represented a considerable portion of the household's assets and led to the position becoming the chief steward of the family. 🙂
