The Tire Industry Association (TIA) is expanding its Advanced Hands-On Earthmover Tire Service (ETS) training offerings for 2021, with in-person classes scheduled for September and December.
“The hands-on courses allow students to leave with comprehensive knowledge that can only come from a combination of classroom and hands-on instruction,” says Kevin Rohlwing, TIA’s senior vice president of training.
“We are happy to get back out in the field with two more in-person Advanced ETS classes scheduled for this year.”
The classes will be held Sept. 28 through Oct. 1 at Stellar Industries in Garner, Iowa, and Dec. 14 through 16 at AME International in Tampa, Fla. Class sessions will run from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Tuesdays through Thursdays and 8:30 a.m. to noon on Fridays.
