Friday, November 04, 2011 TIA Announces Training Initiatives for 2012
 Following the annual Board meeting held in conjunction with the Global Tire Expo, the Tire Industry Association (TIA) announced several training initiatives that are planned for 2012. In the first quarter of next year, TIA will release the Spanish version of the Commercial Tire Service (CTS) Program for both Basic and Certified levels. The Association also expects to release the Spanish translation of the Basic Earthmover Tire Service (ETS) Program in the first quarter.
TIA will also release the much-anticipated On-Line University for all six Basic Level Training Programs: Automotive, Basic TPMS, Advanced TPMS, Commercial, Fleet and Earthmover. This will allow companies of any size to train new hires on the first day and automatically track their progress through reporting mechanisms that can be linked to internal human resources software.
TIA will also begin production on a new Farm Tire Service (FTS) Program, which is scheduled for release in the first quarter of 2013. This program will address the proper procedures for servicing agricultural, construction and skid steer tire and wheel assemblies, in addition to the safety guidelines for operating articulating boom trucks and liquid ballast pumps.
