Our Athens Campus

The 20,000 square foot Big Red Schoolhouse was constructed for the purpose of teaching people how to maintain, repair, and inspect RVs.  With climate controlled RV bays, the NRVTA has the room for all the equipment and tools that students need to get the hands-on training required to learn the systems on today's RVs.

Transitioning Skills and Precision

Veterans are known for their exceptional discipline, attention to detail, and ability to learn complex systems quickly - qualities that make them ideal candidates for the RV service industry.  Training as an RV technician offers veterans an opportunity to apply these skills in a growing field, ensuring that their transition into civilian life is both smooth and rewarding.

Growth and Advancement Opportunities

The RV service industry not only offers a stable entry point for veterans transitioning into civilian careers but also presents ample opportunities for professional growth and advancement.  Veterans can leverage their leadership skills and technical aptitude to rise quickly within the industry, from specialized technicians to service managers or even business owners.

"I retired from the military and struggled with my identity. Becoming an RV technician is helping me find my way and brings joy to my heart."
Niko Vandevoorde CSM (Ret.)
"The hands-on training allowed me to grow my skills to be even more successful in my new business."
Steve Kilburn II, Army, SSG (Ret.)
