The aptitude test provided for in article R. 321-19 takes place at least once a year.
The dates and locations of the tests are set, after consultation with the Chambre nationale des commissaires-priseurs judiciaires and the Conseil national des courtiers de marchandises assermentés, by the Conseil des maisons de vente, which ensures sufficient publicity at least two months before the date of the first test, in particular by insertions in specialist professional journals and by information on the websites of the Conseil des maisons de vente, the Chambre nationale des commissaires-priseurs judiciaires and the Conseil national des courtiers de marchandises assermentés.
