ADR Driver Training in Rugby
ADR Driver Training Courses
ADR Driver Training provides drivers with the knowledge and qualifications required to transport dangerous goods safely and in accordance with current regulations.
Our initial ADR training courses are delivered by experienced industry professionals and are designed to give drivers a clear, practical understanding of their responsibilities when carrying dangerous goods by road.
Courses will be held at Princethorpe College, Leamington Road, Princethorpe, Rugby, CV23 9PY, providing a convenient central location for delegates travelling from Rugby, Coventry, Warwickshire and the surrounding areas.
Training at Your Premises
ADR driver training can also be delivered at your own premises, subject to approval by the DVSA. Approval will take account of the proposed training room, available facilities and the number of delegates attending.
If on-site delivery would better suit your organisation, please submit an enquiry including the venue address, anticipated delegate numbers and any relevant details about the facilities available.
Training will cover the ADR core syllabus, with additional specialist modules available. Class 1 Explosives and Class 7 Radioactive Materials courses may also be provided where there are at least two delegates requiring the training.
Eligible courses can also contribute towards drivers’ periodic Driver CPC hours.
