Diploma in Extraordinary Service
10 weeks · CHF 997.00 · Application-led · Accepting applications
Professional maturity through serious household awareness, judgement, discretion, responsibility and practice.
For the individual
You begin to see yourself and the profession more clearly. You learn to notice before acting, understand the meaning behind standards, communicate with greater care and recognise when responsibility requires instruction, permission or support.
The intended transformation is professional orientation: stronger identity, direction and readiness to practise under supervision—not a claim of mastery.
For the organisation
The Foundation helps create a shared starting language for service. A learner returns with greater awareness of the guest, household or working environment; more respect for standards; and a clearer understanding that good service combines careful action with judgement and responsibility.
The organisation gains a person better prepared to learn, receive direction and contribute thoughtfully to consistent service.
Teaching
Teaching classes from Premm Anand Rao and a dignified introduction to modern butler thinking.
Execution
A workbook for application across an 11-week self-learning journey.
Conversation
Ten weekly cohort conversations with Premm to discuss what you are learning.
