When you do your recreational vehicle (RV) service technician apprenticeship training at VIU, you work with the latest technologies. And you gain new skills under the supervision of expert instructors.
You get hands-on training working on customer RVs, and see a diverse range of service and maintenance issues. You learn to do RV repairs to code, and you learn to communicate better with customers.
To take this training and progress towards your Red Seal designation you must be sponsored by an employer.
