Current Registered, Certified, or Master Certified technicians can expect to receive their new RVTI credentials at no charge during the 2020 transitional year. “As we begin a new era of technician certification and training through the RV Technical Institute (RVTI), RVIA and RVDA will be working to make a smooth transition as we sunset the current RVDA/RVIA technician certification program,” said RV Industry Association President Craig Kirby and RVDA President Phil Ingrassia in a joint statement.
The new RVTI Certified Technician Level 1 test will be available Jan. 1, 2020 through the RV Technical Institute. For more information, click here.
