Pre-Licensing
Auctioneer Class
In order to become an auctioneer, one must complete eighty (80) actual hours of auction instruction from an approved pre-course provider before they are eligible to take the State Exam.
Midway Auction School was the first Auction School approved by the Indiana Auctioneer Commission to teach both Pre-Licensing and Continued Education for Indiana Auctioneers. We are proud of our reputation of excellence with over 94% of our students passing the state exam.
Midway Auction School wants to ensure that all our students are set-up for success once they leave our facility. We are not just holding classes for passing the State exam, we concentrate on all aspects of the business. As a requirement of our Pre-Licensing Class, each one of our students attend and assist in one of our auctions at Midways Auction Company. While helping at the sale, each student has the opportunity to overlook clerking, cashiering, auctioneering, ring work and all aspects of the business. Also, as a part of the class, each student receives a text book to take with them for future references. We pride ourselves in being available for questions even after the student has a license.
