Middlebury, Ind. – The Jayco® Family of Companies has announced that the RV Technical Institute® (RVTI) has now qualified training provided by the RV manufacturer to count towards Level 3 Certification. This training focuses on the Jayco, Entegra Coach®, Highland Ridge RV® and Starcraft RV® brands of recreational vehicles.
Level 3 training is for RV technicians to develop and increase skills sets on specific types of components. Technicians will depart trainings with the ability to perform advanced diagnostics, troubleshooting, and repairs on those systems and components. In Level 3, there are 5 areas of specialty training technicians can pursue – Electrical, Chassis, Electronics, Appliance and Slideout.
To qualify and remain certified in a Level 3 Specialty a technician must successfully pass Level 1 and 2 written and skill-based (practical) exams. The technician must attend and pass the number of approved training hours within five years for each specialty category. Certification is good for 5 years. Over this period, the technician must also acquire 24 hours of continuing education credits (CEUs) of approved hands-on or online trainings. 8 of the 24 hours of CEUs must be directly related to the specialty held.
“RVTI is excited to welcome Jayco as one of the newest additions to our Level 3 training program,” stated Justin Rickett, Senior Manager of Recruiting RV Technical Institute. “The recent approval of their Jayco Service School training offers a unique opportunity for certified RVTI technicians to receive credit hours covering several Level 3 Specialties, in one class. We are excited about this approval and appreciate their partnership with RVTI.”
