BOWIE, Md. — The Tire Industry Association (TIA) has scheduled tour dates for its certified Automotive Tire Service (ATS) training seminars in the Seattle and Sarasota, Fla. areas.
ATS training will take place Sept. 26-29 at Green River Community College in Auburn, Wash., and Dec. 5-8 at Suncoast Technical College in Sarasota, TIA said.
The four-day ATS program involves in-depth classroom and hands-on training that industry professionals must complete to be certified as Advanced ATS Instructors, according to the association.
Certified technicians then go back to their workplaces to train and certify technicians in the field, it said.
The ATS program includes safety guidelines and step-by-step procedures for all aspects of passenger and light truck tire service, including a full day of instruction on tire pressure monitoring systems, TIA said.
Tuition for ATS training is $950 per person. To download a registration form, go to tireindustry.org/training. For more information, contact Christine Hoogenboom at [email protected] or 800-876-8372.
