The National RV Training Academy (NRVTA) hired Tonya Taylor as its second student advisor Jan. 20.

Taylor will serve as the first contact point to those seeking class information to become registered, certified or master certified RV technicians, as well as people wanting to become certified by the National RV Inspectors Association (NRVIA).

Answering questions, scheduling and explaining pathways to attain various credentials will be Taylor’s responsibilities, along with connecting students to NRVTA resources.

Increasing inquiries about training options prompted the school to create a second position, The Big Red Schoolhouse administrator Evada Cooper said.

“I completed the RV Fundamentals course myself, and know first-hand how well it prepares RV owners to save time and money by performing basic maintenance on their RVs,” Taylor said.

“Covid has changed the way people want to travel, and they see RVs as an excellent way to vacation or even live in a safe and convenient way,” she said. “The past year has also opened their eyes to the fact that it is not advisable to rely upon a job as their only source of income. People are exploring ways to go into business for themselves.”

Classes can prepare students to go to work for RV dealers in an industry where technician demand never has been higher, Taylor said.

“For most of 2020, we were trying to catch up on a backlog of inquiries about the courses we provide, but the number of calls and emails continued to grow each day,” Cooper said. “With a background in sales, experience as a small business owner, as well as a practical understanding of what RV owners need to enjoy a success on the road, Tonya is an ideal person to help us get students enrolled in our programs.”
