“ Let me start by saying that this class was amazing. From the day I picked up the phone and called for information, I was impressed. Friendly and professional - all the way through the course. The instruction was not only based on bid calling but the internal working of each type of auction. Accommodations were 5 Star in my eyes. Kind and courteous staff went the extra mile. Breakfast was always ready early for the early risers. Thank you Western College of Auctioneering for an amazing and well taught class.”
