The CTS Instructor Program consists of 19 modules covering a comprehensive range of commercial tire service topics, including OSHA regulations, road service safety, tire and wheel inspection, wheel installation procedures, single- and multi-piece tire service, inflation, tire repair, load and inflation tables, and industry guidelines.
