Course aims

This course provides delegates with a clear understanding of the hazards involved in transporting dangerous goods, and the skills and knowledge required to protect themselves and others in the event of a fire or other emergency.

The course is designed to train and retrain transport drivers and others responsible for the Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR) in accordance with both national and international transport regulations.

The course covers the basic core elements of road tankers and/or dangerous packages, understanding of current legislation plus the essential skills in dealing with emergencies.

The course is fully approved and accredited by both City & Guilds and the Department of Transport. The syllabus is modular and allows training to be tailored to meet your company’s specific needs. The training is delivered by our highly experienced instructors. A written exam will be held at the end of the course.
