  • Delegates will know how to act in an emergency

Duration

5 Day Initial / 3 Day Refresher

The type of VTC (Vocational Training Certificate) you need will depend greatly on which class/es 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:

ADR 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.

ADR 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.

ADR Tank Module:

1.5 days Mandatory if you are transporting dangerous goods in a tank (e.g. petrol tanker driver)

Classes:

All classes covered (1-9) Explosives, Gases, Flammable Liquids, Flammable Solids, Oxidising Substances, Toxic, Radioactive, Corrosives and Miscellaneous.

A standard ADR course run by Sandy Arthur Training on any given week will include the Core, Packages and Tank Awareness / Modules and all 9 classes except 1&7 (Explosives and Radioactive).

Explosives ADR

We are one of only a few organisations that deliver ADR Explosive courses. We run courses every 6 weeks from our Limavady HQ. If you need only class 1 you must complete the Core Module first.

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.
