ADR courses are accredited by SQA (Scottish Qualifications Authority) for the ADR certificate and by DVSA for Driver CPC purposes.
ADR Training Courses vary in length depending upon the nature of goods to be transported. Most candidates opt for either a 4 -day Core, Packages and 7 Classes or a 5-day course which includes the tanks module.
Available in Wigan Classroom or at your site (if suitable) nationwide subject to minimum numbers.
Whilst there are 9 classes of dangerous goods, most courses just cover the 7 more common classes that drivers regularly transport.
We do not currently offer the specialist classes – Explosives (class 1) and Radioactives (class 7).
