Greycoat Academy Update

GREYCOAT ACADEMY NEWS UPDATE

March has been a particularly busy month for Greycoat Academy

We have held three Basic Certificate Courses, a one day Advanced Course, a Wine Course and a Household Management Course.
We are pleased to relay these comments from some of the students on these courses:
• “The course was very well organised and useful”
• “The key things I learnt were time management, protocol, valeting skills and household management”
• “A very big thank you!”

Additionally Greycoat Academy’s Principal, Jane Urquhart, spent four days at The Villa at Barton G in Miami having been engaged to train the butler and housekeeper teams there. This unique destination is open for guests from March 7th and offers a luxurious and elegant environment for holidays, honeymoons and special events. No expense or trouble has been spared to create a memorable stay and the team of eight butlers are all of the highest calibre and expertise. Greycoat Academy is delighted to be part of this new and special venture.
Visit www.casacasvarina.com (the new website is currently under construction) to see the facilities available.

Greycoat Academy has also trained staff in Devon, Switzerland and London in the last three weeks and completed a bespoke one day training programme in a house in London, where the butler and two housekeepers needed one to one special training.
