To Qualify
- Must successfully pass Level 1 and Level 2 written and skill-based (practical) exams to be eligible to obtain Level 3 certification.
- Trainees may take Level 3 courses without already being Level 1 or Level 2 certified, but RVTI strongly recommends completing Levels 1 and 2 coursework first.
- Training certificates from approved courses completed within the last 5 years are eligible for submission.
- If a trainee takes a Level 3 course first, they can still apply those hours toward certification once they complete Level 1 and Level 2 certification within that five-year window.
- Must complete the required number of approved vendor training hours for each specialty category. Training completed within the last 5 years is eligible.
