Dates have been established for the Tire Industry
Association’s (TIA) 2011 Automotive Tire Service (ATS) and
Commercial Tire Service (CTS) Certified Instructor
programs.
The newly-revised ATS program combines in-depth classroom
instruction with comprehensive, hands-on education, says Roy
Littlefield, executive vice president. “Students who
successfully complete the program are prepared to return to
their companies and impart that knowledge to their fellow
employees by conducting in-house Certified ATS Technician or
Instructor classes.”
The CTS program utilizes classroom instruction with hands-on
learning and meets the requirements laid out by OSHA
Standard 29 CFR 1910.177. Students who successfully complete
the CTS Instructor program are qualified to certify
technicians in the field.
Both the ATS and CTS classes are held in either three- or
four-day sessions. The classes are being held in Baltimore
and Denver.
“Both TIA’s CTS and ATS Instructor Programs have been
updated within the past two years,” Littlefield points out.
“This means that technicians have the opportunity to receive
the most comprehensive and up-to-date instruction on the
latest tire service techniques.”
