ADR Training
ADR Qualification is a vocational qualification, the training facility, course content & examination requirements come under the authority of the S.Q.A. (Scottish Qualifications Authority).We offer all modules and classes (including radioactive and explosives). The delivery of ADR training can be “in company” (subject to premises meeting SQA criteria) if required.
The type of VTC (Vocational Training Certificate) you need will depend greatly on which class(s) of dangerous goods you are transporting. As well as having to sit each relevant dangerous class you must also sit the Core Module and the Packaged Goods Module and/or the Tanker Module.
The modules and classes are as follows:
Core Module:
1.5 days: Mandatory subject - covers such things as first aid, fire precautions, emergency procedures etc. All drivers requiring ADR must pass this module.
Package Module:
1/2 day: Mandatory if you are transporting dangerous goods by road in anything other than a tanker, i.e. flatbed, box vehicle, tipper etc.
Tank Module:
1.5 days Mandatory if you are transporting dangerous goods in a tank (e.g. petrol tanker driver)
All classes of substances are covered in each module: - (1-9) Explosives, Gases, Flammable Liquids, Flammable Solids, Oxidizing Substances, Toxic, Radioactive, Corrosives and Miscellaneous, (Explosives & Radioactive are not part of a standard course)
Exams:
You must pass exams for the modules and classes you require. The exams are in a multi choice format and the pass mark required is 70%. If in the unlikely event you have failed a module or class, you only need to come back and sit the module or class that you have failed.
