WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE TO SAY
Delivery is organized and clear. Educational background of instructors is evident and appreciated!
You have been great to work with! I appreciate your help. I will recommend Novalis to all my auctioneer friends.
Important information for young auctioneers.
Glad to use your service. It saves me time and I can work it into my busy schedule.
I think this format of the classes and the proctor exam... 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.
So glad online is an option and appreciated being able to do this after hours.
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.
The staff at Novalis was and is very helpful in completing my CE for the past 20 years.
If you have to take continuing education (and I do), Novalis is the best that I have found.
Invest in your Business.Self.Future.
Novalis is committed to providing quality educational offerings that meet the needs of licensed auctioneers in Illinois.
