The Tire Industry Association (TIA) is excited to re-announce its groundbreaking partnership with daily, online training company Today’s Class.  This innovative mobile training platform has been helping tire technicians enhance their knowledge retention through TIA-approved training delivered in engaging, 5-minute online daily sessions.

Technicians who have completed TIA’s 200- or 300-Level Courses will reinforce their training through Today’s Class’ app for iOS and Android, or via a desktop, laptop, or tablet. This approach allows technicians to learn when it's most convenient for them without sacrificing productivity.

“There’s a natural alignment between TIA and Today’s Class that makes this partnership a perfect fit,” said Christine Hoogenboom, TIA’s Director of Training. “The Today’s Class platform reinforces the high-quality training TIA has provided for decades, empowering technicians to feel confident and stay safe on the job. We’re thrilled to reaffirm this valuable resource to our members and the industry.”

The partnership originally introduced training modules focused on Commercial Tire Service (CTS), with topics including Wheels, Tires, RIST (Remove, Inspect, Snug, and Torque), Jacking/Lifting, and Mount/Demount. Additional modules for Automotive Tire Service (ATS) training followed, further expanding the comprehensive offerings available through the app.

Today’s Class continues to evolve its progressive platform so shop owners can support employee development and enhance their communications.

Today’s Class users will learn:

  • How to reach shop goals by improving employee knowledge
  • How the algorithm creates a unique learning experience for each user
  • How managers and owners can gain a top-down view of employee performance
  • About knowledge retention through daily, online training that reinforces the important content employees need to know with focused, bite-sized information to keep critical knowledge top of mind.
  • How shop owners’ teams can take ownership of their learning experience

"Today’s Class is committed to making training personalized and engaging. Our platform meets each person where they’re at," said David Boyes, President of Today’s Class. "We have been working to shift the training paradigm by creating daily learning designed for long-term retention, resulting in increased shop productivity and safety."
