The National RV Training Academy (NRVTA) is approved by the Texas Veterans Commission, under the provision of Title 38, U.S. Code, for VA educational benefits. The benefits are used to train veterans and other eligible people for approved programs and courses required.
VA Educational Benefits includes the Post-9/11 GI Bill, the Montgomery GI Bill and other educational assistance programs. Qualified applicants also may receive assistance with on-the-job training and career counseling.
Terry “Cooper” Cooper, co-founder of the academy, said: “Because my partner, Steve Anderson, and I are veterans ourselves, we have been wanting to offer VA benefits since we started NRVTA. Military members are some of the most highly disciplined and committed people in the country. To be able to help them transition into profitable civilian careers is a tremendous honor.”
The process for having NRVTA’s training programs VA-reviewed and certified has been a goal for more than three years, said Stephanie Henson, director of administration.
“Our school was able to reach the final step this summer with a site visit by the Texas Veterans Commission (TVC), the agency responsible for approving programs like ours in the state of Texas,” Henson said. “TVC representatives visited the NRVTA campus to see first-hand how we prepare students for jobs in the RV industry. We are excited to welcome even more veterans to the NRVTA campus to prepare them for jobs in very high demand around the country.”
Cooper said there are more veterans in Texas than any other state.
He said, “We are fortunate to be in a position to help these dedicated men and women, who have already given so much in support of their country, to enjoy successful careers.”
