It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or produced by the Commission or the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency, and it does not reproduce any commercial question bank. Preparation here is organized into five study areas: Indiana auction law and administrative rules; auctioneer duties, ethics, and professional conduct; contracts, agency, and seller/buyer relationships; marketing, advertising, and sale procedures; and auction mathematics, settlement, and recordkeeping.
