New RV Technical Training Courses Offered Online

Workamper University and the Texas RV Professor announce two online courses to learn more about RV Electrical Systems and Becoming a Certified RV Walk Through Technician.

Workamper News and Workamper University are proud to announce our new relationship with Terry Cooper, the Texas RV Professor, and the Mobile RV Academy. With this new relationship comes two new online courses available to those living the RV lifestyle or folks who may be interested in learning more about RVs. The courses will be entirely online using a webinar system where attendees will be able to interact with the instructor, Terry Cooper. The two courses begin in July and August.

The first course, Your RV Electrical Systems, will begin on July 14, 2009. Each course has three sections available to participants; each section is made up of four sessions totaling six hours of class time. The second course offered is Becoming a Certified RV Walk Through Technician. To participate in either or both of these classes you will need to register and submit your payment through the Workamper News Store online. There are three different packages available starting at $247 per course. Visit http://www.workamper.com/rvprofessor to find all the details about the course fees.

Participants will connect to the class using a computer connected to the internet, and for audio they can use a microphone and speakers connected to their computer or they can call in on a telephone. The instructor, Cooper, will present the course using PowerPoint presentations and video. Homework assignments and pre and post-course assessments will be provided along with downloadable handouts and video link materials.

The RV Electrical Systems course is designed for the individual that wants to not only save money, but develop new skills that can be used while Workamping. Some of the topics covered will be electricity, DC voltage, AC voltage, and electrical capstone materials. In the Becoming a Certified RV Walk Through Technician you will receive a certificate that you can present to RV dealers to show that you are a professional and would be a great asset to their staff. This course is primarily for the individual that is going into the Workamping experience and is looking for a way to supplement their income. In today's RV market, we are seeing a basic 2-4 hour show out paying $40 to $80, and depending on the complexity of the bigger rigs the pay can go up to $150 to $250 for a 4-6 hour session.

The instructor, Terry Cooper, is well respected by the RV Association within Texas and has built a high level of integrity within the RV technical training community. This Master Certified RV Technician and licensed insurance claims adjuster has developed, from concept to implementation, a training program that takes an inexperienced person and in one year, trains them to be a certified RV Technician working in the RV industry. This all happens with the Mobile RV Academy.
