Advanced hands-on earthmover and farm tire service training class schedule announced for 2017.

The Tire Industry Association (TIA) has announced that they will be offering Advanced Hands-On Training for technicians in the earthmover and farm tire service industries. These classes are designed to provide additional education for those that have completed the TIA Basic ETS and Basic FTS courses. 

“Nothing replaces hands-on instruction in the farm and earthmover tire service industries, so these classes are a direct response to the demand from our members to provide these unique training classes,” said Kevin Rohlwing, TIA Senior Vice President of Training. “While classroom instruction and a written examination is necessary in most instances, these classes are not part of a certification or certificate program so all of the focus is on using the tools and equipment safely and correctly.”

The class schedule for 2017 is as follows:

Earthmover Tire Service Classes
