“A huge variety of information. I came in expecting to learn one thing and came out learning more than I ever expected.”
“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!”
“I came to auction school wanting to work on my chant and receive training on my numbers. We did that and but so much more. We went in depth on the business and things I didn't realize would be covered such as as: body language, voice health, technology, insight into the auction business and all the branches, and also how to succeed in all aspects of the industry. ”
“From ringing to bid calling, WCA is top notch and changed my life.”
“After years of formal education that includes undergraduate and graduation studies coupled with military and professional training, I can't recall having participated in a more comprehensive and practical course. The WCA provides all the tools and resources necessary to ensure students' success in the 21st century auction industry.”
“I feel blessed to be a part of such a great school. Every instructor handled themselves professionally. They are truly second to none. I've learned so much over the last few days. I can't wait to try out my new found profession in the real world.”
“The instructors teach you more than just a fancy chant. They break you down to the basics and build you up the correct way quickly. I really enjoy the different styles of instructors.”
“This has been the most humbling yet exhilarating experience of my auction career. The wealth of knowledge passed along by the world class instructors was simply amazing. It was incredible to not just simply be in the presence of some of these world class bid callers, but they instruct in a manner that lets you know they genuinely care about your success. There is not a single person in the auction profession I wouldn't recommend this course to. Thank you so much for the experience.”
“I wasn't sure what to expect when I came to WCA. What I found when I got here was amazing: literally world class instruction, a sound and well-designed curriculum, students that were engaged and eager to learn, and a whole world of opportunity I could not have imagined before attending.”
“Wow, what a week! All of the instructors were amazing. I don't regret coming to WCA for a second and I know all of my classmates would agree. I have a new family here. WCA makes the auctioneer learning experience educational, inspirational and last but not least... fun!! Thank you.”
