Start the Journey to Elevate Your Detailing Career – IDA RV Certification Online Exams Now Available

After an exciting launch of the IDA RV Certification earlier this year in person at Mobile Tech Expo, we are now pleased to introduce the launch of online exams!

The RV Certification consists of five (5) exams, ten (10) questions each, in these subject areas: 1) General Knowledge; 2) Safety; 3) Terminology; 4) Surfaces; and 5) Detailing Process. Please note: these exams only cover exterior detailing. You need at least an 80% or better to pass each exam.

As with the first two specialty certifications (Watercraft and Motorcycle), you can order the complete set of online exams ($200 for members | $400 for non-members) or individual exams ($50 each for members | $90 each for non-members). Not yet a member? Join the IDA before registering to obtain the member rates. Before registering for the RV Certification, you must have already completed Phase I Certification, having passed the ten written exams, to fulfill the classification of Certified Detailer.

Those who achieve the status of IDA Certified Detailer – RV Certified (CD, RVC) have demonstrated expertise not only as an auto detailer, but also in the dedicated area of Recreational Vehicle (RV) exterior detailing. RV Certified Detailers have exhibited the specific knowledge needed to properly care for various types and styles of Recreational Vehicles, and they understand the intricacies that distinguish RV exterior detailing from other forms of detailing.

At the time of initial launch, the RV Certification is primarily U.S.-based, but the IDA is actively evaluating how the U.S./English version translates internationally to accommodate additional variations. Non-U.S./English versions are on the roadmap for future development ensuring that the RV certification becomes accessible to detailing professionals worldwide.

A special thank you to the IDA RV Certification Exam Task Force for their efforts in bringing this program to fruition: Willy Arias, CD-SV, RVC; Rob Schruefer, CD-SV, MC, RVC, WC, RIT; and Julian Vera, CD-SV, RVC!
