Rotax Certification Program

RCP Chapman Workshop

Rotax kart engines are distributed to over 60 countries around the world. The network has more than 50 distributors and over 600 service centers and dealers representing Rotax Karting. We aim for the highest-quality kart engines with the lowest difference in performance between the engines. As part of these efforts, we're constantly developing our distribution network to ensure customers get the best service possible. This is why we have introduced the Rotax Certification Program, RCP, for short.

Rotax Certification Program

Ensuring outstanding service and support

With the RCP, BRP-Rotax offers a unique standardized training process that ensures customers get consistently excellent service and support wherever they are. The Rotax certification program comprises three training modules. They cover all levels, from basic engine knowledge to the certification of Rotax technicians to the comprehensive overhaul of Rotax kart engines. All technical training courses are taught either by certified trainers approved by Rotax or by experts at the Rotax facilities. Advanced classes are based on the train-the-trainers principles. Instructors at service centers are trained by Rotax experts and authorized to offer introductory courses for customers who want to handle simple service tasks on their engines.
