Welcome to the Recreational Vehicle Training Center, Inc. Website!
Recreational Vehicle Training Center, Inc. (RVTC) is located in Largo, Florida. Our mission is to offer our students the best in RV education and training to become a Certified Master RV Technician. Our school education program for learning to repair RV's and become certified is one of only two short term "hand-on" training schools in the nation. We strive to be the best! What sets us apart is the fact that we are the only school to provide on-site Recreational Vehicles to learn on for our "hands-on" portion of the curriculum. We have Class A's, Class C's, travel trailers and fifth wheels plus a tractor trailer loaded with training aids. We believe this not only provides for superior learning as well as actual experience, but also allows the student better retention of the information they gain after they graduate the class and become employed in the RV field. We also offer job placement assistance for our graduates. RV Training Center has earned the respect of many RV dealers, the RV industry and RV owners alike! Over 50% of our course consists of hands-on training. The balance is held in our classroom (includes PowerPoint presentations, videos, etc.). Our 10-week course prepares you for the RVTC exam and the (optional) RVDA/RVIA certification exam. You will learn how to proficiently diagnose and repair almost any problem, whether it is a travel trailer, a 40 foot fifth wheel toy hauler, a Class B van or a Class C RV, or a luxury 45' foot class A diesel coach.
You will learn how to service generators, refrigerators, heating and cooling systems, plumbing systems, awnings, leveling systems, brakes, cooking appliances, battery chargers, inverter systems, slide out mechanisms, trailer hitches, body damage and repair, L.P. gas systems, electrical systems and more. You will also learn how to do a hands-on Pre-delivery inspection. All the skills and knowledge you need to know to start a high paying rewarding career as a Certified Master RV Technician.
Students many times have the opportunity to do supervised service calls either onsite or at campgrounds if they have successfully completed that part of training.
Our 10-week training is taught by our Director/Head Instructor Sam Alsop, a RVDA/RVIA & RVTC Certified Master RV Technician, with over 16 years in the RV industry. Sam has certified over 200 RV technicians for the RV Industry.
Dealers are encouraged to send their technicians to our school for specific areas of training which may also qualify towards their continuing education requirements. Today, even simple repairs can be costly. What do you do when your slide-out gets stuck in the National Park? For RV owners, we also offer a short course (Owner’s Orientation and Maintenance) covering basic RV maintenance and familiarization, plus what to do in emergency situations.
