“While a person seeking to build skills in auction management and operations can get some training through various industry conferences, there is no formal, rigorous mechanism for academic learning that we believe would be valuable to the industry,” said Randall McCathren, Auction Academy COO. “In addition to offering essential academic material, Auction Academy provides the hands-on experience that is needed to run an auction in today’s increasingly complex and competitive environment.”
