I was at the NRVTA two years ago. I am one of the few female certified techs. I am the only female certified tech in Indiana. This past year I went to RVTI for my continuing Ed. NRVTA is so much better for independent mobile techs. When I first go in to a service call I carry my multimeter and a pencil box of tools. If I need more tools I can always run out to my Van.

Very thorough and insightful video covering all aspects of the class any potential student would want to know. I’ll probably do the home study course first then do the onsite course as I really want to be able to diagnose and fix problems that pop up. However if I do need a tech I’ll be sure they are NRVTA certified.

That varies based on the classes you take, which tools you need to purchase and if you stayed on of off campus. Go to the description of this video and download the 2 E-Books (technician & inspector). They list all the costs of each course, materials, tools, etc. They are loaded with the details about the school and RV industry too. They are very helpful.

It’s a great place to learn! And as for Steve, yup, it’s a known issue. That’s what we get when we put a camera in front of his face and the stress of filming comes on. I suggest turning on closed captioning and read along and changing the playback speed on KZfaq. You can speed any video up or slow it down to better understand what is being said. You can turn both of these options on by finding the gear icon on KZfaq. ~ Erika

@@RadarRoadWarriors the NRVTA tells people that the industry needs "thousands" of technicians and inspectors and that's simply not true, at least for inspectors. They should stop false advertising and misleading people to take those courses or at least provide information as to what areas have a need for inspectors, where someone can make a living from it. The people I know are disappointed at not going a return on their investment.

@@lauravictorious4670 it all depends on your skillset and if you can run a business and people want to hire you. I don’t believe the NRVTA is lying to anyone. The demand is out there, you need to be in the right location and have the skillset needed to be successful.
