Tire Industry Association announces Commercial Tire Service training dates

Jan. 3, 2020
The 400-level certified CTS training courses cover all aspects of commercial tire service including OSHA standards, mounting/demounting, wheel installation and torque, road service, balance, and repair.

The Tire Industry Association (TIA) will hold four Commercial Tire Service (CTS) Instructor Training and Certification courses in Baltimore and Denver in 2020.

The 400-level certified CTS training courses cover all aspects of commercial tire service including OSHA standards, mounting/demounting, wheel installation and torque, road service, balance, and repair.

Students passing the course will be certified to instruct TIA’s 300-Level Certified Technician Course in the field.

The training courses for Baltimore will be held February 4-7 and November 17-20. The classes in Denver are scheduled for April 14-17 and August 18-21.

Classes begin at 1PM EST on the first day. However, students with fewer than two years of experience servicing truck tires can sign up for an early session that morning, from 8AM – 12PM, where they will physically mount and demount a tire and install and remove a wheel assembly from a truck using impact and torque wrenches.
