Notes :

For farmers wishing to diversify the current ADR Agreement 2005 and The Carriage of Dangerous Goods and Use of Transportable Pressure Equipment Regulations 2004 require the driver of any dangerous goods carrying vehicle, over certain thresholds, to undertake vocational training (ADR Certification) and in all cases to undertake training commensurate with their duties.

Candidates receive training in the following areas: Fire, First Aid, Vehicle Documentation, Vehicle Equipment, Emergency Procedures, Hazards of Dangerous Goods, Security of Loads, Loading and Unloading of Dangerous Goods in Packages and Tankers.

Delegates will sit the core unit and packages plus whichever classes they require listed above.

Courses are held periodically for both refreshers and licenses from scratch. Our ADR courses and refresher courses are held periodically throughout the year. We use an excellent instructor who will take delegates through the ADR course work before they sit the SQA examination.
