“My time at WCA far exceeded my expectations. The gradual build up to bid calling left me with a great foundation that I can fall back on. The instructors at WCA are top notch and provide a broad, well rounded view into the auction industry. I was focused on one sector of the industry coming in, and I have walked out with an open mind of the endless possibilities in this diverse industry.”
“WCA has been an outstanding experience. This school has brought together some of the best instructors throughout the auction industry. Their background, skill and willingness to teach could not be more inspiring. Along with improving my bid calling skills, I now have the necessary information to guide me in my auction career.”
“Academic content is excellent! Verbal drills and bid calling was excellent as well. WCA exceeded my expectations in every way!”
“Overall, AMAZING. Such a great in person course for 4 days. On the second day my brain was full, but I pushed through, and it was amazing. My classmates are now like family. The instructors are amazing. Each one brings their own art and their own chant and it’s nice to see the different styles. I wish I had done this 10+ years ago. This was a fun class and 4 days isn’t enough with the friendships created! Thank you!”
“I came here with absolutely zero auctioneering experience, and I know that I can go home to an auction and be successful.”
“At 54 years old, it takes a lot to impress me. This did! I've been to auctions all over the country as a buyer... Livestock, horses, trucks, machinery, farm sales, and I had no idea about the unlimited business possibilities. Re-inspiring an old guy isn't as easy as it sounds. Thanks Nick and all the instructors at WCA. ”
““With excellence and professionalism these guys get you going on the right road to auctioneering. It’s more than just speaking fast, it’s about clarity & rhythm, which are the primary markers of WCA’s curriculum. Bringing in knowledge & experience from a plethora of good instructors working to make it adaptable to your learning style. They lead you down the right path in the trade of auctioneering. Well worth the investment.””
“WCA brought me out of my shell. It has made me more comfortable to get up to converse with a group of people. WCA has taught me how to become an auctioneer.”
“My WCA experience has been awesome. I have wanted to attend auction school for at least 20 years. The WCA chant and method of teaching is very clear and precise. The depth of the instructors was much more intense than I expected! I could not believe that World Champions were teaching my class! I loved the enthusiasm of the instructors!”
“What a great course and life changing experience. The instructors were all very knowledgeable. Nick Bennett is a great guy and a good friend. I really liked the instructors willingness to help and that they were happy to give out their phone numbers to help down the road when needed.”
