Novalis is Expanding!
In addition to ILLINOIS and WISCONSIN, we now have distance learning courses approved and/or appropriate for continuing education credit in VIRGINIA, ARKANSAS, NORTH CAROLINA, KENTUCKY and TENNESSEE.
Contact us at 1-888-346-5411 or info@novalislearning.com for details, to request an order form, or to place a telephone order.
Wisconsin Distance Learning Courses:
Distance Learning: Our distance learning program is deal for the individual who wants to earn continuing education credits at a time and a place that is convenient to them, without the hassle and expense of travelling to a classroom offering. Each student will receive a DVD, accompanying printed materials, and information on selecting a proctor for the examination required by the Wisconsin Department of Regulation and Licensing in order for you to receive credit. (Returning Novalis students can use their previously-approved proctor, if appropriate.)
How much CE? Wisconsin auctioneers are required to complete 12 hours of CE before December 14, 2008. The 3-hour ethics course is mandatory, and 9 additional hours must be taken through the remaining elective courses.
Dual Credit for Illinois: Five of the courses are also approved for auctioneer CE in Illinois. Illinois auctioneers must take 12 hours of CE every renewal period - at least 6 hours of mandatory courses and the remaining hours through elective courses. We will add a dual credit surcharge of $20 per course to your order if you want dual credit for your Illinois license.
Illinois Classroom Locations
Classroom Learning: Our experienced instructors make the classroom sessions both enjoyable and informative. These sessions are ideal for the person who appreciates interaction with both the instructor and their fellow auctioneers. Note: All participants must show state-issued picture I.D. and provide license number for state credit.
There are no classroom sessions currently scheduled for the 2009 renewal. As always, we will offer several classroom programs in various locations across Illinois beginning in early 2009. If you prefer to take your CE now, we invite to order our Video Home Study Courses.
