“On behalf of the entire RV industry, we congratulate these professionals and their dealerships.

Fixed-ops professionals can earn certification as parts managers, parts specialists, service writers/advisors, service managers, and warranty administrators through the Mike Molino RV Learning Center, which offers online testing, certification, and recertification. The 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. For information, visit www.rvlearningcenter.com.
The Society of Certified RV Professionals promotes and recognizes certification among employees who work in the RV industry. Certified personnel benefit the RV industry by improving the customer experience. Fixed operations personnel who are trained and certified become more efficient, which improves a dealership’s Repair Event Cycle Time (RECT) and leads to higher customer satisfaction. Recertifying and maintaining certification demonstrates an individual’s ongoing commitment to staying current in an industry driven by changing technology and high consumer expectations.
