The RV Technical Institute (RVTI) recently expanded industry input through the establishment of three industry-led committees.
The committees will support the technician training and recruiting program. They are the Certification Commission, Learning Partner Commission, and Curriculum Committee.
The Certification Commission is led by Level 4 Master Certified Technician and Top Tech Challenge winner Brandon Galbreath. The Certification Committee is responsible for setting passing scores on certification exams (as recommended by the curriculum committee), reviewing all testing impropriety cases and appeals, determining course of action for improprieties, and setting and approving Level 3 certification requirement hours. The committee is comprised of Level 4 Master Certified Technicians. Their first meeting will cover topics including the review and revision of Level 3 certification criteria and the criteria for expired technicians, also known as the reengagement program.
The second committee, the Learning Partner Commission, is headed by Lee Casey from RV Retailer. The commission upholds learning partner criteria, reviews non-compliance cases and appeals and determines courses of action for non-compliance. The committee includes RVTI’s learning partner representative.
The Curriculum Committee is the final addition to the new committee structure. It is led by Steve Roddy, a Level 4 Master Certified Technician, aftermarket supplier and FRVTA instructor who works with the Dealer Resources Group. The Curriculum Committee oversees approving change to curriculum standards and test content and recommending certification passing scores to the Certification Commission. The committee is made up of Level 4 Master Certified technician subject matter experts with a vast knowledge of the entire curriculum.
