Just been told if you sit the whole course including tanks you can get 28 hours towards it. Not refresher.Hi Rew, You didn’t tell us who told you… is it somebody credible that we should listen to and believe, or simply what your mate told you in the pub?
I teach ADR and it does indeed count towards the driver CPC, but AFAIK it’s 21 hours and the tanker module is specifically excluded unless somebody at JAUPT has moved the goalposts.
The ADR refresher course can definitely count as 7 hours, so your “Not refresher” is actually complete nonsense.
I don’t know how things used to be with JAUPT, but certainly these days Tanks does count towards DCPC, but for some reason some providers don’t bother getting it approved.
OP, If you’re in the north east I could tell you where you can get 28 hours for your Standard ADR + Tanks. They don’t run refreshers though, the failure rate at exam time was just too high.
On the subject of Jaupt, any topic that can be made to fit the DCPC syllabus can get approval, the skill is in how the application is written up

I thought he was now in Middlesbrough not Stockton? He was when I last had anything to do with him.
Coincidentally, I recently I found an old post of mine (under an old login) from about 10 years ago where I detailed my experiences with this trainer, made for quite amusing reading, especially my rant about him not mentioning Foot Valves during the course but there being a question about foot valves in the exam - it seems I was quite annoyed by it at the time 
Did you see the dates on the thread?

hi all am doing my adr initial march15th, am getting funding for it, i havent got all the info yet but when it arrives i will study it and if you live in merseyside/cheshire i think they can draw funds for you, so hopefully it will be free, so once the info has arrived and it all turns out to be true and you live in the area pm me and i will send you the info you may benefit from it its worth a phone call to them if its free
A word of caution: you may get subsidised training for the ADR but be aware it may or may not include the costs of the exams, which are a sizable chunk of the course costs
ROG:
Add up all the costs for the ADR + 28 hours of Dcpc - is it worth it? …ADR course including tank module = £■■? average
Dcpc 28 hours = £■■? average (Was the one advertised on this site over £100 for just 7 hours?)
Look at it this way - you’ve got no choice but to do your DCPC hours, so subtract that from what you might expect to pay for DCPC alone,
Lets say a round figure of £50 a session for DCPC (yes I know you can get it for £35 online from VR, but that’s the narrowest pat of the price range) so there’s £200 for 28 hours, then subtract that from the price of the ADR (Std + Tanks) course, which for the company I’m thinking of is about £466 (inc VAT & upload fees).
So your extra qualification is only costing you £266. Which, if you were an agency driver and you got a week’s worth of work you wouldn’t otherwise get, has just paid for itself with a bit to spare and broadens your employability.

Idiot !
I`ve never ever made such a mistake…
And I never tell lies either
The amount of hours you can get towards CPC depends on a couple of things.
Is the provider a registered Driver CPC centre/provider?
YES: You will be able to get up to 21 hours (Packs only) or 28 hours (Tanks & Packs) depending on the modules that the provider has approval for. They should know if you ask them - if they don’t, they are probably a broker and you should avoid like the plague.
NO: Even if the provider is not registered to provide Driver CPC training, if you sit an ADR course now you can now apply to DVSA directly to have 14 hours added to your record. You’ll need details of your training and will have to pay the £17.50 upload fees direct to DVSA (call them on 0300 123 7721).
The National Dangerous Goods Training Consortium (NDGTC) have a Tanker Awareness module approved which allows you to get the full 28 hours CPC with a Tanks & Packs course - details of providers here: www.ndgtc.co.uk/index.php/members/map/
hi,remember reading in a mag sumwhere that holding an adr licience could count up to 21 hours of the 35 hours cpc training is that right? where can i get more info on this? thanks
hi mate check this out
drivercpc-periodictraining.o … s/courses/
type ADR as keyword and it will give you a list of who’s doing it
drivercpc-periodictraining.o … s-archive/
from the above link
ADR training can now be approved as Periodic Training
DSA are pleased to announce that elements of dangerous goods training for LGV drivers can be counted as part of their Driver CPC periodic training.
The following amount of time of ADR training will count towards their periodic training:
Up to a maximum of 21 hours of the basic course
*7 hours of the core module refresher course
All of the modules within the syllabus can be used except Tankers, Class 1 and Class 7, providing the number of hours training does not exceed the above guidelines.
Please note: the specialist modules that are delivered outside of the basic course will not be accepted for periodic training, as it is considered the syllabi for these modules are too specialist and do not map readily across to the Driver CPC syllabus.
Training centres who are approved to deliver the ADR qualification will also need to be approved by JAUPT and submit the part of the ADR course they wish to count towards Periodic training for approval. Existing centre and course approval fees will be applied (see the Periodic Training Guide for these fees). Please note that as with all Periodic Training tests or exams cannot be included

The TANK AWARENESS bit adds an extra 7 hours (approved by JAUPT) so it is correct - 28 hours for Dcpc
Add up all the costs for the ADR + 28 hours of Dcpc - is it worth it? …
ADR course including tank module = £■■? average
Dcpc 28 hours = £■■? average (Was the one advertised on this site over £100 for just 7 hours?)
Hi trickie
Core packs and seven classes providing the ADR provider is also Jaupt approved and has registered the course for DCPC can count as 21 Hours towards the DCPC.
We run the course regularly.
I have sent you a PM.
