ADR Training Help

Looking to do ADR Core + Packages with initially all but 1 & 7, they might be done later.
I see some companies do posters & mice mats with the classes on them with a low cost for item but high cost P&P.

Any good free reading material to look at prior to course in late 2021?
After nearly 10 years away from ADR I want to try to remember it all again.

Yes, I know the course will teach you all you need to know, but just want to remember it all again.
Bit of a head start on when I do the training.

Also looking at EP Training (Sean does a good job) or Wallace Transport as live in South London.

Beware reading any out of date material you find for yourself .
Don’t learn the wrong stuff.

This is from ROI but is still very useful, especially the online tests, which are probably more testing than our SQA exams.

I think you’ll find you won’t be doing Classes 1 & 7, not for that price, those two classes are each one full day and to do those two would cost you about £500. But… if you’re sure I’m wrong then share the location because that would be a phenomenal bargain.

Just to give a comparison from France .

The two day renewal of my adr base 532.80 euros
The two day renewal of tanks 498 euros
One day renewal of class 1 254.40 euros

Adr initial - 3 days - 684.40 euros
Adr tanks - 4 days - 873.60 euros
Adr one - 2 days - 498.00 euros

Class 7 - 3 days - initial - 980.00 e - Only offered in a few locations and very specialised operators.

No Adr is included in dcpc here so making it a proper qualification.

I don’t see how having ADR approved for DCPC hours diminishes the ADR qualification.
I understood that the French equivalent of DCPC is a pass-or-fail exam system anyways, so the two things would complement each other AFAICS

Well it means that the initial month of driver training and the 35 hours renewal are not a diluted qualification. If 28 hours for the adr count towards the dcpc then a driver is only getting 7 hours of driver training . Maybe people would then understand the tacho rules.

Thanks for that link, some good practice to look at.
Some is not relevant to UK but still interesting.

This^^^

Readers should remember that hazchem.ie is giving info relevant to the ROI, so not all of it counts as anything in the UK.

For instance, you’ll read that M333 extends the validity of ADR certificates until the end of September this year, which is quite correct for ROI. However, the UK did NOT sign up to M333, so our UK issued ADR cards will expire on the date on the card as normal.

Similarly, you’ll read that M334 extends DGSA certificates in the same way, but the UK did NOT sign up to M334 either, so our UK issued DGSA certificates will expire on the date on the certificate as normal.

I’d just add that some of the info on the hazchem.ie site would lead the reader to believe that an ADR course in the UK goes to the same depth as an ADR course taken in ROI, but this is NOT true in the UK.

:bulb: It’s the DfT who make the ADR decisions affecting the UK, so I’m only the messenger. :smiley:

Totally agree Dave, but that kind of stuff is up in the stratosphere while the OP is just trying to get off the ground, you need to think like the mere mortals here on TN :laughing: I don’t think newbies would even bother to read that stuff on M333.

I tend to recommend that site to people simply because it’s there, and it’s free, and… there’s nowt else - unless anyone is aware of a UK-based site that provides the same opportunity to practice online, I’m certainly not but would be happy to be further enlightened.

The only UK option is an app that needs to be paid for, and considering it is inherently “naughty”, I’m not going to associate myself with it by promoting it’s use though TN.

I tend to agree Zac, but there might have been those who thought that the derogation that the UK did sign up to would be extended, meaning that they’d incorrectly think that their expiring ADR card would continue to be valid. This time… it was not to be!!

:bulb: There’d be no advertising ‘issue’ if it were an App that you’d bought, used, then recommended to other posters.

I was just after general info to look at, have found other UK ADR providers providing the basics which I found.
Seems no pre course info is recommended, when last doing ADR with the MoD/Military it was mandatory to at least now the 9 classes.
And pre course info was all about the sub divisions in Class 1, 2 & 3, but this was back in 2012.

It’s not an advertising issue, it’s the fact that it’s a rogue instructor selling exam questions via the app. They know who he is and at some point there will be consequences for him, I just don’t want to be associated with it.

If he’d made it a good quality product that tested you but without helping candidates cheat, I’d be happy to promote it, but this just isn’t cricket.

Ahh… thanks for the explanation. :smiley:

AFAIK, there’s no harm in posing ‘practice’ questions, but the line is firmly drawn if multi-choice is involved.
