TIA will host its Certified Automotive Training Service (ATS) Instructor Class in Portland, Maine, on Aug. 4 through 7 at Southern Maine Community College.
The program is a four-day, in-depth classroom and hands-on class that industry professionals must successfully complete in order to return to the dealership(s) to train technicians to prepare them for certification. TIA said it has used the train-the-trainer approach to train and/or certify more than 93,000 technicians since 1997. Training includes safety guidelines and step-by-step procedures for all aspects of passenger and light truck tire service, including wheel installation with the proper torque, tire repair and TPMS.
