The Tire Retread and Repair Information Bureau (TRIB) has partnered with the Retread Manufacturer's Association of the UK (RMAUK) to offer the international course titled Retreading Workshop Practice, commencing in September 2013.
The course is correspondence based, with two mock examinations to monitor progress during the periods of study, extending from Sept. 2013 to May 2014, and a final exam, which can be taken at a local university or technical college.
