The Jayco Family of Companies has officially received approval from the RV Technical Institute (RVTI) to count its specialized training toward Level 3 certification, marking a major development in advanced RV technician training.
“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 at RVTI. “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.”
This specialized training program focuses on Jayco, Entegra Coach, Highland Ridge RV, and Starcraft RV brands, allowing technicians to develop and refine their skills across essential areas, including electrical systems, chassis, electronics, appliances, and slide-outs.
Level 3 training equips technicians with advanced diagnostic, troubleshooting, and repair abilities tailored to these systems. To qualify and maintain Level 3 certification, technicians must complete Levels 1 and 2, pass practical and written exams, and attend a specific number of approved training hours. They also need 24 hours of continuing education credits over five years to retain their certification, with eight hours directly related to their specialty.
This certification marks a significant advancement for the RV industry, which relies on skilled technicians to meet the demands of increasingly complex recreational vehicles.
As RVs evolve with sophisticated electrical and electronic systems, the need for highly trained professionals grows, and Jayco’s inclusion in the RVTI Level 3 program supports this demand. Enhanced training ultimately leads to improved service quality and higher customer satisfaction, fostering trust and promoting sustained growth across the industry.
