RV Fixed Operations Certification Week Is March 6-12

Society of Certified RV Professionals, the RV Technical Institute (RVTI), and the Mike Molino RV Learning Center have designated March 6-12 as RV Fixed Operations Certification Week. Fixed operations professionals include employees working in service, parts, and warranty administration.

Fixed‐operations professionals can earn certifications as parts managers, parts specialists, service writers/advisors, service managers, and warranty administrators through the RV Learning Center’s parts and service management certification programs.

RVTI offers Level 1 and Level 2 training and certification programs for RV technicians online and through live classes at its Elkhart, IN, training center. Training and certification are also available through RVTI’s national network of Authorized Learning Partners.

Individuals who earn a new certification during RV Fixed Operations Certification Week receive a free one-year subscription to RV Fixed Operations Today website.

“Fixed operations professionals serve a vital role in our industry and make a tremendous difference in the professional reputation of a dealership,” said RVDA President Phil Ingrassia. “Certified employees can give consumers an extra layer of confidence that their RV will be well taken care of after the sale.”

“In addition to encouraging professional development, Certification Week is also an opportunity for dealers to recognize their existing certified personnel at the dealership,” said RVTI Executive Director Curt Hemmeler. “Quality training is critical for RV service technicians as well as for fixed-operations professionals. Through the Mike Molino RV Learning Center and the RV Technical Institute, the industry has prioritized the importance of training and certification to improve the RV consumer experience.”

RVTI provides world-class training for RV maintenance and repair that will reduce the RV industry’s shortfall of trained RV technicians. RVTI seeks to improve the RV consumer experience, reduce repair event cycle time, and aggressively reduce the RV industry's shortage of trained technicians. Visit www.rvti.org for more information.
