SA Butler Academy continues its lies to its students and future employers, and now hides its disparagement of its critics on its website!

 

Last week I was alerted by Lin Yang, the Singaporean student who managed to interest Carte Blanche in doing a story on the SA Butler Academy (SABA), about a revolutionary change in the Academy’s website, a 180 degree turnaround in how it has dealt with anyone brave enough to write anything critical about it!

In addition, about two weeks ago I happened to look at the SABA website, and found a page motivating why Butler students should study at the Academy, once again riddled with errors and lies!  Continue reading →

SA Butler Academy pleads ‘guilty’ to criticism by Belgian International Butler School, without having been named!

 

The SA Butler Academy (SABA) appears to be digging a bigger and bigger hole for itself, its latest faux pas being responding to an article written by the head of the Belgian School for Butlers and Hospitality Vincent Vermeulen.

The plight of former Singaporean SABA student Lin Yang, who was expelled from the Academy but cannot get her course fees and legal fees refunded, has made waves in South Africa after her story was told on Carte Blanche almost two months ago. The bottom line of the program was the dishonest claims made by SABA in its marketing of the Academy, its courses, and the misleading experience and qualifications of its Head Newton Cross, much of it found to be untruthful.

Panic appears to be setting in at the SA Butler Academy in reaction to Carte Blanche program and student legal action!

I was interviewed too, having identified in 2013 already that the marketing of SABA is misleading its prospective students and their parents.

I  summarised the interaction between SABA and myself, and between SABA and Lin Yang just after the Carte Blanche program was broadcast:

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#grateful for a deep but too short sleep; for getting into writing mode early, doing my first ever sponsored posts for my client which all went well, being slightly nervous; for a lovely morning tea and Xmas cake treat with Gary Peterson, airdropping the video he did of the Carte Blanche program to my phone, watching it with him; for receiving a detailed timeline breakdown of everything which Singaporean Lin Yang has been through with the SA Butler Academy, in time for me to add it into my Blogpost about the Carte Blanche program of last night; for all the lovely compliments about the program; for a quick walk to Bakoven, where there was lots of litter to clean up, the same applying to Camps Bay later this afternoon, looking terrible with all the litter in the Tidal Pool area; for a quick drop in by Emma, bringing me a gift of inflatable solar lights; and for being healthy but tired. 🙏💙 Continue reading →
