Auctioneering Course for Batswana

With one of Africa's strongest cattle-farming traditions, Botswana runs on livestock auctions — and a skilled auctioneer directly affects the price a seller gets. To learn the craft to a professional standard, students from Botswana train at South Africa's SAIA-accredited college of auctioneering, running since 1986.

Why Batswana train with us

• The region's established auction school — dedicated auctioneer training since 1986.
• Built for livestock and beyond — the same skills carry across cattle, property, vehicles and estates.
• Taught in English — the working language of auctions across the region.
• SAIA-accredited — recognised training, real rostrum time, and a diploma.

Easy to get to from Gaborone

The course runs at Kempton Park Golf Club in Gauteng, minutes from OR Tambo International Airport. With direct flights between Gaborone and Johannesburg — and a short drive across the border also an option — flying in for a 4-day intensive is straightforward.
