How RTI Transformed Training and Continuing Education with Academy of Mine’s LMS

A Seamless Transition to Online Learning

RTI's commitment to providing the highest quality education led them to Academy of Mine. The switch from traditional training methods to a robust online learning platform was seamless, allowing RTI to maintain its high standards while expanding its reach. RTI CEO and Founder Lisa Lavender made this a clear goal from the beginning.

As an IICRC school that provides world-class training to businesses involved in restoration, cleaning, and the built environment, RTI primarily offers content addressing the professional restoration and cleaning of facilities, which is necessary after floods, fires, and other emergencies. While this is in-person work, RTI realized the importance of providing online access to their high-quality training even before the COVID-19 pandemic made it a necessity in 2020.

To make this digital transition a reality, though, RTI needed a learning management system (LMS). Lavender wanted to ensure that RTI’s new LMS could manage a variety of training modalities and support different payment models in order to make it as accessible as possible for clients and learners. Lavender and RTI were searching for several other features, as well:

• Customizable LMS to add RTI branding and scale with company needs
• Intuitive user experience to simplify platform navigation and the overall learning process for students
• Comprehensive support from initial setup to ongoing assistance

That’s what led RTI to Academy of Mine.

“We needed a system that allows us to grow in a healthy way. And I'm looking long term because that’s the point of purchase. This is where the ease of use and ability for our users to interface, impact our company.” - Lisa Lavender, CEO and Founder of RTI

Why RTI Chose Academy of Mine

RTI knew that launching and running an online training center would require a lot of work, and that a robust LMS would be integral to its success. They needed a software platform to host training online, deliver courses, certify credentials, and more.

That clear vision and understanding of needs helped RTI begin researching their options, where Academy of Mine quickly became a frontrunner by offering flexibility, customization options, and various integrations. It was also important for RTI to be able to build a large digital course library to support online and offline training in various formats. This would enable them to more effectively sell their comprehensive training through subscription payments.

With Academy of Mine, RTI can now do all this and more.

“One of the reasons we decided to go with Academy of Mine was because we could customize some of the functionality, and nobody else offered that.” - Lisa Lavender, CEO and Founder of RTI

Implementation, Support, and Results from Introducing an LMS

Academy of Mine worked closely with RTI to tailor the LMS to meet their specific needs and integrate with RTI’s existing systems to ensure smooth operations that have been maintained with continuous support after the initial deployment. By providing streamlined training delivery and an enhanced customer experience, RTI has helped their clients’ online training programs thrive on a larger scale than ever before.

Partnering with Academy of Mine revolutionized RTI's training strategy, making it scalable, cost-effective, and intuitive. This collaboration continues to empower RTI to efficiently train a global workforce in the restoration and cleaning industries, solidifying its leadership in the space and setting it up for even more success in the future as individual learners continue to succeed.
