What makes our auction academy different from the rest?
Founded by nationally recognized auctioneer Amelia Jeffers,
Heart and Hand Auction Academy was created to make earning an Ohio auction license
more flexible, approachable, and achievable for busy professionals,
working parents, career changers, collectors, entrepreneurs, and
anyone with a passion for people and the marketplace.
Our innovative scheduling model is designed to work around real life.
Whether you are balancing a full-time job, family obligations, or an existing business,
our programs provide pathways to complete your auction education
without stepping away from the responsibilities that matter most.
Our school is committed to providing exceptional education that ignites
passion and curiosity in students of all ages. Our dedicated faculty focuses on sharing
decades of real-world auction industry experience, developing confidence,
fostering collaborative relationships, and encouraging continual professional development.
We believe in a well-rounded approach that prepares students not just technically,
but also develops critical and strategic thinking, community engagement,
and strong ethical business practices.
