2021 RETA Breeze September-October

RETA AUTHORIZED INSTRUCTORS

WHAT IS RAI? RETA Authorized Instructor (RAI) is designed to assess the mastery of advanced refrigeration system concepts and operations at a level that qualifies a candidate to assist prospective CARO, CIRO, CRES, and CRST candidates with their preparations and activities required to earn RETA credentials. RAI candidates must demonstrate both teaching experience and knowledge of the content in all RETA publications that are designed to prepare operators and others to meet RETA certification requirements An RAI provides high-quality training focusing on safety and the improvement of operational and maintenance competency in the industrial refrigeration environment. WHAT ARE A FEW BENEFITS FOR AN RAI? • RAIs are nationally recognized as qualified providers of industrial refrigeration instruction and/or training to the industrial refrigeration industry. • RAIs will receive recognition in RETA communications and will thus gain national exposure to a wide market as providers of training to the industrial refrigeration industry.

TRAIN THE TRAINER COURSE All RAI candidates must complete a Train the Trainer course. RETA HQ, as well as several companies and schools, offer this course. Jim Barron taught a three day Train the Trainer course in July at RETA Headquarters. RETA’s Train the Trainer course is designed for workplaces that need trainers that will hit the ground running with a high level of adult learning tools. This course is not just for RAI candidates! It is designed to benefit employees that are being asked to design and/or deliver training in the workplace. Participants learn about the learning needs of adults, planning and developing different types of training, delivering, and assessing the success of the training.
