It is a legal requirement that any persons whose duties concern the carriage of dangerous goods undertake awareness training. The requirement includes personnel employed by the road vehicle operator or the consignor such as packers, forklift truck drivers, warehouse operatives who load or unload dangerous goods, staff in freight forwarding or shipping agency offices, and drivers of non-ADR vehicles.

All of our ADR examinations are computer-based which enables you to get your results straight away unless there are any technical issues in which we must revert to paper-based examinations.

Drivers that wish to renew their ADR license must attend a refresher course 6 weeks prior to the expiry date
