ADR Dangerous Goods in Packages and Tankers - Initial

The regulations which govern the transportation of dangerous goods requires the adequate training of drivers of tankers, tank containers, bulk and packaged substances. Drivers transporting listed dangerous goods in vehicles over 3.5 tonnes must obtain an ADR Training Certificate for the classes of goods they wish to transport. These certificates are valid for five years.

Who should attend this course?

NTS courses are designed for staff who transport listed dangerous goods in both tankers and packages. Regularly-held courses are available at our approved training centre in Norwich or at your own premises, subject to approval.

This course is provided by the Department of Transport and is administered by the Scottish Qualifications Authority and consists of modules of training followed by an examination.

Drivers' hours regulations: attendance at courses is a legal requirement of the occupation and we as training providers must make drivers and their employers aware of the requirements of the drivers' hours regulations if courses are undertaken at weekends or on other drivers' rest days.
