To keep up with the growing demand for service technicians, the RV Technical Institute has recently added an authorized learning partner manager, Justin Rickett, to their team.

In his new role, Rickett makes sure that learning partners have all of the information available to deliver the institute’s standardized at the local or regional level. Learning partners have access to the Institute’s full RV technician curriculum, course materials, learning management system and instructional aids. In addition, learning partners help teach the curriculum and track student progress.

Since its inception, one of the ways that the RV Technical Institute (RVTI) is bringing in more students seeking RV technician training is through its authorized learning partner program.

These are most often companies in the RV industry – many times they are dealers – who have been trained on the RVTI technicians’ courses so they can provide the training themselves.

“I work hand-in-hand with our learning partners to make sure they have all the tools and training information necessary to successfully onboard techs and get them certified,” Rickett said.

He joins the institute from the aftermarket segment and, before that, he was the owner of a small business.

“For almost four years, I worked as a regional sales manager for a manufacturer representative group in the aftermarket side of the industry. While I was there, I worked with dealerships, parts and service managers, distributors, and several different manufacturers that our company represented. I have some knowledge of the industry from the aftermarket side,” he said. “Prior to that, I was a small business owner for quite a few years – I’ve been involved in a broad spectrum of fields.”

In addition to working with authorized learning partners, Justin hopes to also work with more educational partners, incorporating the Institute’s training into high school curriculums as well as correctional facilities and vocational training facilities. To help further this initiative he’ll be attending several American School Counselor Association events and homeschool events.
