NRVTA Graduates Find Success in Self-Employment
The National RV Training Academy (NRVTA) has worked to improve customer service in the RV industry by helping to train thousands of mobile RV service technicians and inspectors, and as part of its certification the Texas Workforce Commission requires NRVTA to submit an annual report regarding the success of its graduates.
The report must show the percentage of students, both employed and self-employed, who completed an NRVTA training program and are using their skills within an industry-related career as well as their average starting pay.
“These are not income guarantees, nor are they suggestions as to what an NRVTA graduate should charge their customers,” said Terry “Cooper” Cooper, president of NRVTA. “However, the figures do provide evidence of the success NRVTA graduates enjoy in their businesses and careers.”
According to the 2022 annual report:
Of the students who completed advanced training to become an RV service technician, 73 percent are employed and making an average starting wage of $104.76 per hour.
Of the students who completed RV inspector training, 78 percent are employed and make an average starting wage of $104.35 an hour.
“These are statistics that were collected from our program graduates who may be working for a dealership or in a business of their own,” said Cooper. “The figures also include people who are in the process of starting a business and graduates who have not yet started employment in the RV industry.”
