Initial and refresher courses are available at our fully equipped Bathgate training centre, where upon successful completion of the course you will be certified to carry dangerous and hazardous materials by road. Valid for 5 years, your ADR can be renewed for an additional 5 years in the preceding 12 months before expiry by completing our short re-certification course.
The ADR training course is both theoretical and practical, covering all types of vehicles and most types of loads. In addition, our comprehensive ADR training includes basic fire and first aid training, course notes, post-course support documentation, ADR certificate & ID badge.
If arranged at the time of booking, your ADR training can also count towards your Driver CPC Periodic training hours.
