RV Fixed Operations Professional
Certification Week is March 6-12
Recognizes Certified Employees and Promotes Continuing Education
(Fairfax,
VA) The week of March 6–12 has been designated RV Fixed Operations Professional
Certification Week by the Society of Certified RV Professionals and the Mike
Molino RV Learning Center. Fixed‐ops professionals can
earn certifications as parts managers, parts specialists, service writers/advisors,
service managers, and warranty administrators through the Mike Molino RV
Learning Center’s parts and service management certification programs.
“It’s
an especially exciting time for fixed ops certified professionals with a number
of new educational resources through the RV Learning Center that weren’t
available a year ago,” said RVDA President Phil Ingrassia.
New
resources for certified professionals include the Fixed Ops Today website and the service writer advisor
online course.
The
RV Learning Center’s credentials were developed by experts at The Ohio State
University’s Center for Education and Training for Employment and a team of top‐performing,
demographically diverse working professionals. Suppliers, distributors, dealer
owners, and manufacturers were also involved in developing the programs.
Dealers can learn more about professional certification and training
opportunities available for fixed operations staff on the RV Learning Center website
at www.rvlearningcenter.com.
Certification
opportunities for RV technicians are also available through the RV
Technical Institute (RVTI). In addition, educational resources are available through
the Florida RV Trade Association (FRVTA).
The
Mike Molino RV Learning Center Board of Directors initiated the Society of
Certified RV Professionals in 2014 to increase the number of RV industry
certified professionals and retain those who already hold certification
credentials. The Society is aimed at individuals who currently or aspire to
hold an RV industry credential. In conjunction with its commitment to encourage
professional development and continuous training, the Society provides
scholarships to long-certified professionals to attend and participate in the
70+ sessions offered annually at the RV Dealers Convention/Expo.
The
Mike Molino RV Learning Center is supported by dealers, manufacturers,
suppliers, distributors, and other RV industry members who are committed to
dealership education and the high level of customer service that is provided by
educated employees. It supports both the Society of Certified RV Professionals
and the Young RV Executives program.
