High School
Tire technicians need to be high school graduates. While in high school, students interested in this career should take courses in science and mathematics, including algebra and geometry; English courses that improve reading and writing skills; and shop or laboratory science courses that introduce measuring devices, electrical machinery, and electronic testing equipment. Training in typing will also allow tire technicians to quickly input and deliver information.
Postsecondary Training
Increasingly, many employers prefer applicants with postsecondary training in a field related to manufacturing or product testing. For example, some tire manufacturers require a two-year technical certificate or an associate's degree in electronics for those seeking employment. You can receive this kind of training at a vocational school or a community or junior college.
