Benefits of Membership in the Professional Association of RV Inspectors (PARVI)
Becoming a certified member of the Professional Association of RV Inspectors (PARVI) offers numerous benefits that can help grow and sustain your RV inspection business. As a dedicated organization committed to promoting excellence in independent RV inspections, PARVI provides members with valuable resources, marketing opportunities, and recommendations for professional development to enhance their credibility and success in the industry.
Increased Visibility & Marketing Support
One of the key benefits of PARVI membership is the opportunity to expand your business reach through our ongoing search engine ranking and marketing campaigns. Certified members can have their business and website linked directly on the PARVI website, allowing potential clients to easily find and contact you without subscribing or "opting-in" to an email list. This increased visibility helps drive traffic to your site, improving your business exposure and increasing potential client inquiries. Our marketing efforts are designed to elevate the reputation of PARVI-certified inspectors and reinforce public confidence in their services.
Recognition of Diverse Continuing Education Opportunities
At PARVI, we recognize that professional development comes in many forms. While the Association does not provide RV inspection training, we do encourage and accept a wide range of training opportunities to meet the four-hour annual Continuing Education Unit (CEU) requirement. Members can fulfill this requirement through various industry-related workshops, seminars, factory tours, and specialized training programs such as the RV inspector training courses available through the National RV Training Academy in Texas (preferred), RVTI, etc. This flexible approach allows independent RV inspectors to continuously improve their knowledge by staying up to date with the latest advancements in the RV industry technology and inspection techniques and best practices while accommodating RV inspector's unique learning preferences.
Enhanced Professional Credibility
Becoming a member of PARVI is an investment in your business and professional future. With increased exposure, marketing support, flexible continuing education options, and industry recognition, you’ll have the tools and resources necessary to elevate your RV inspection business to new heights. RV inspection businesses with more than one qualified inspector working in the same business may request certification of the business rather than paying to certify each individual. Certification of each RV inspector individually will of course require individual memberships. Apply for certification today and take advantage of everything PARVI has to offer!
