An auctioneer course is a course offered to help prepare and train an auctioneer. It can be offered in a classroom setting or online, and different states have different auctioneer licensing requirements and regulations. Because each state has different requirements, it’s recommended to take the state exam in the state you’re going to be working as an auctioneer.

Auctioneer Schools

Many auction schools started in the early 1900s in America. The Jones’ National School of Auctioneering and Oratory was believed to be the first. It was started by auctioneer Carey M. Jones in Davenport, Iowa. For the first term, the school promoted “competent instructors teaching general merchandise, real estate and fine stock auctioneering.” However, many auctioneers at that time did not believe an auctioneer could be “trained.” They believed that auctioneering was a natural ability that you were born with.
