The following is a report from the RV Technical Institute (RVTI).
Are you seeking an alternative to higher education, interested in gaining experience in the skilled trades or seeking a career change? Becoming an RV service technician could be your next move.
The unique career stands out as a great option for those considering the skilled trades, especially with the training opportunities provided by the RVTI’s gold standard curriculum.
RV technicians are one of the fastest-growing careers in the United States. While RVs have exploded in popularity over the last few years, the RV industry is still in need of more trained RV technicians to perform regular maintenance and make timely repairs for RVers looking to explore the great outdoors.
The career path presents an alternative to a four-year college degree. The skilled trades, including the RV technician career path, are a great option for those who are interested in rewarding careers that don’t require a traditional four-year degree. This means that those who enter the skilled trades can obtain hands-on experience in their desired field much sooner while avoiding the financial burdens of student debt.
The RV technician career path is unique in that it offers techs the ability to choose how they use their skills. Some technicians repair RVs in a dealership while others prefer go out on the road as an independent mobile technician. There are benefits to both options: dealerships offer a more structured, scheduled workday routine with the support of other staff while mobile technicians have the autonomy to seek out their preferred service jobs at campgrounds and RV parks of their choosing.
RV technician training is affordable. For just $600, the RV Technical Institute’s individual subscription is a nationally recognized, hands-on, competency-based program that provides access to the institute’s Level 1 and Level 2 training courses and testing for a full year, either online or in-person. In addition, the RV Technical Institute offers scholarship opportunities that covers the full cost of the training.
