The RV Technical Institute on Monday launched a new website and learning management system (LMS) that will allow RV technicians to register for upcoming online classes. Textbook support material for the upcoming classes will be delivered electronically through the new LMS.
In response to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the RV Technical Institute will host its first online Level 1 training course on Monday, April 20. The online, interactive classes will be virtually taught by RV Technical Institute trainers through Zoom.
“Now is a great time for current RV technicians to invest in their future by becoming Level 1 certified RV technicians,” RVTI Executive Director Curt Hemmeler said. “Our new website and online training platform will allow RV technicians to continue to be trained and receive the only industry-wide certification while following appropriate social distancing guidelines.”
The online course will take place on April 20 and will be delivered in four-hour increments on a daily basis from 10 a.m.-Noon and 1 p.m.-3 p.m. EDT, Monday through Friday.
As the RV Technical Institute moves to this virtual setting, hands-on training remains a cornerstone of the brand-new curriculum. The hands-on labs will be demonstrated during the online instruction and students will then perform these labs on their own.
Class participants will be given two weeks to complete their certification testing (included in the $275 course fee) via an on-line system using Proctor U. Those that pass the test will then become RV Technical Institute Level 1 certified.
Additionally, the online test will be available to experienced RV technicians who choose to test after reviewing the Level 1 curriculum without participating in additional training. This will allow experienced RV technicians to use their existing knowledge and skills to obtain the Level 1 certification.
