And Commercial Tire Service (CTS) Certified Instructor Program Schedule
Bowie, MD - The Tire Industry Association (TIA) has announced its 2009 winter/spring dates for the Automotive Tire Service (ATS) and Commercial Tire Service (CTS) Certified Instructor programs. These programs certify individuals to become Certified Instructors and qualify them to return to their place of business and conduct Certified Technician courses for their employees.
The ATS program combines in-depth classroom instruction with comprehensive, hands-on education. 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.
"The TIA CTS and ATS Instructor Programs continue to prove that there is a great demand for training in the industry," said Roy Littlefield, TIA's Executive Vice President.

TIA is an international association representing all segments of the tire industry, including those that manufacture, repair, recycle, sell, service or use new or retreaded tires, and also those suppliers or individuals who furnish equipment, material or services to the industry. The Tire Industry Association (TIA) has a history that spans more than 80 years and includes several name changes. Originally known as the National Tire Dealers & Retreaders Association (NTDRA), the organization gave birth over the years to the American Retreaders Association (ARA) and the Tire Association of North America (TANA). ARA changed its name to the International Tire & Rubber Association (ITRA) and merged with TANA in 2002 to form the current Tire Industry Association (TIA), which now represents every interest in the tire industry.
