With 72 million Americans planning to take an RV trip in the next year, there’s more demand and opportunity for those skilled in RV Systems knowledge than ever before. Our hands-on training and instruction with RVTI-certified curriculum provides the experience and expertise needed to succeed in this exciting industry with manufacturers, suppliers, campgrounds, dealerships and repair shops nationwide.

Women are needed and we are answering the call alongside RVTI.

With 80% of the RV buying decisions being conducted by women, it is important for them to also find other women within industry sectors throughout the buying process. This certification is good for life and will allow recipients to better understand customer dilemmas, increase their knowledge of RV components, and prepare an RV for customer delivery by verifying the operation of all systems.

What have past students said?

"Before this course, I knew nothing. Afterwards, I felt knowledgeable and empowered to be able to service minor issues that are costly, on my own. The RVTI Level 1 course is well written and the curriculum is easy enough to follow as a newbie, but rigorous enough that you have to be sure to pay attention, ask questions, and take notes. Having an all-women's course was great as it allowed me a safe space to ask questions as a beginner that I may have withheld in a co-ed classroom. I was able to take risks with my learning and feel supported by the instructor. Additionally, I now feel empowered to go and service minor repairs without having to go to a shop."

“Growing with other women on our team plus the industry itself was AMAZING! I’m very grateful for the opportunity.”

“I knew absolutely nothing from a technical perspective walking into this course so I enjoyed the amount of information I received. The instructor was extremely passionate about what she was doing – you could tell she’s really trying to make the course better. I appreciated being taught by a woman, that was pretty empowering!”

"Do it!" "Change your life! RVTI will make you feel empowered as a woman and confident in your skills as an RV Technician." "I hope more women get the chance to enhance their skills and resourcefulness."

“It was fantastic to connect and discuss the industry with other like-minded women. Jessica was an excellent teacher and it was evident that she has vast hands-on experience in the field. This was a valuable experience and I would encourage anyone who has the opportunity to attend to do so!”

"I liked the interaction with the instructor. I could ask questions and get clarification on key points. Nothing is better than an actual back and forth conversation. I truly believe more women need to be in this profession."

“My favorite part of this course was that we were learning RV systems from a woman who works in the industry. She was able to explain things in a way that I could understand.”

What You Will Learn

In this week-long class you will learn the “7 areas” of RV inspection. After completing the class you will have a working knowledge of:

Propane systems
Water systems
Electrical systems
Appliances
Generators
Body
Chassis

You will be equipped to perform pre-delivery inspections on RVs once completing the class and passing the final exams.

Online Helper Portal

Online Helper is a new format we are offering for women in the industry who already have access to the online material from RVTI through their employer, but are finding it hard to take the time to study and work through the material. For just $75, this program will give you a six week accountability structure where you will be given:

a way to go through the material that is beneficial to how we think about an RV
weekly homework to review either in your plant or dealership looking at an RV
a weekly 1 hour call with the instructor to go over the material learned that week.

Students still get to move at their own pace, but have some accountability to get through the material and test on their own.
