WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE TO SAY
The new, online courses were fantastic! Rigorous, informative, and providing a wealth of knowledge—Novalis delivered on Continuing Education. Thank you.
I have been using Novalis for 3 years and will…as long as I am licensed. Their online self-study options are easy to navigate and discuss practical information that actually pertains to my field. Even during the pandemic, …“online proctoring”…made the testing process easy and safe. If you are looking for a straightforward, time-saving method to renew your license—Novalis is a must!
I am so pleased I chose Novalis for the CE classes to maintain my auctioneer's license. As a relatively new auctioneer, this is the first time I've taken CE classes and I was extremely nervous, especially [with] the pandemic…. Novalis was excellent in their communications—every email or phone call was promptly returned and all of my concerns and questions were addressed….
…In light of the pandemic, [Novalis] made changes that were very helpful, such as Zoom proctoring and more online courses. I appreciated SO much the encouragement and thorough advice I received; I am well equipped to successfully complete my CE requirements. Many thanks to Sue…for [going] above and beyond to make me feel heard and reassured and confident as I work towards finishing my classes.
I think this new format of the classes and the proctor exam was real good. It saved me a lot of time, and I was able to complete it all within a week. Well worth it.
I enjoyed Novalis Learning’s online CE course offerings for licensed auctioneers. The instructors covered a lot of ground, and the study materials were very informative. And following the coursework, the online proctored exams were quite user-friendly. I would highly recommend Novalis to other Illinois-licensed auctioneers.
I wanted to mention the auctioneer CE course I have just finished. To say that I was impressed would be an understatement. The course was well thought out... relevant to the auction business. Being a presenter of sales techniques for over 28 years..., I recognize...expertise to present...with a level of knowledge that is necessary for learning. I have enjoyed using Novalis for many years now for my Continuing Education requirements and have found you are the people to go to for this need. Sue has done an outstanding job.... All I can suggest is keep up the great work.
Terrific: Not everything applied to me as an auctioneer of a large auction house, but everything was informative and enjoyable. See you in two years.
Due to my busy schedule and work, this is a very good way to keep up my schooling to receive my auctioneer’s license and to do the home study courses.
Novalis does a great job. Always patient with me. Always accommodating and go out of their way to make getting my continuing ed done before the deadline. Sue is very professional.
If you have to take continuing education (and I do), Novalis is the best that I have found.
