 Addressing
mobile electronics retailers’ growing need for professional installers,
Richard Inferrera, a 40-year industry veteran, founded The Ritop School in
1985 to educate and prepare installers for a career in an exciting,
fast-growing industry. Since its inception, the school has become the
leading mobile electronics training facility in North America, graduating
over 100 installers each year from its Watertown, MA location.
Over 20 years later, our mission remains the same. Our courses
offer a strong foundation for installers and enthusiasts alike as they
enter or grow in this fast-paced industry. Our classroom instruction
provides students with the fundamentals of electrical and acoustical
theory, while our hands-on shop projects teach custom fabrication and
advanced installation skills on real vehicles. In fact, we dedicate 50% of
our students’ instruction time to real-world installs in our full-service
bays.
To further enhance the students’ classroom experience, we offer
a complete selection of hand tools, power tools and special-purpose tools,
as well as dedicated woodworking, paint, fiberglass and vinyl shops where
students can build custom enclosures, interior trim, and dash pieces.
Other advantages of the Ritop School include its experienced
staff, a curriculum that encompasses the entire automotive electronics
industry, the opportunity to earn a nationally-recognized MECP
certification on-site, and career development skills training for
interviewing and resume writing. Students also have access to a full
library of video training tapes, technical manuals and computer programs
that they will likely encounter in the real world. To further enhance the
learning experience, manufacturer representatives, technical advisors and
product engineers frequently serve as guest instructors.
The Ritop School is geared towards newcomers to the industry,
and no prior work experience is necessary. We welcome students who have a
strong desire to learn and become efficient at high-quality installation
and fabrication. By the end of our eight week course, students are ready
to begin their careers, and our job placement program will even help them
find work – anywhere in the country.
Upon completion of the Ritop program, students are able to
demonstrate fundamental knowledge of electronics theory as well as
techniques of quality installation in a variety of vehicles. All graduates
receive a Ritop diploma as well as a MECP Basic Installer certificate. The
Ritop School is licensed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department
of Education and is approved to accept VA benefits.
