Today I was invited to observe the black art of instructing ADR with Diesel Dave, by very kind permission of Rick at Data Academy in Leicester. Driver Training. ADR. Fork Lift and much more
The day began with me driving down to Leicester and catching Dave with steaming tea and a cigarette in hand, I was invited to join in and had a mug of tea myself. As the class began at 8.30 we were both ready when Steve, Stewart and Martin turned up. They had begun their training on Monday so I was dropped in in the middle of the course. It didn’t matter as I was only watching how the course was delivered, not the content of it.
I had missed Class 2 Gases which was covered on the previous day, so today started with something I was familiar with, and I still learned something about methanol.
Flammable Solids, Spontaneously Combustible and Dangerous when Wet. Class 4.1. 4.2 4.3 was well remembered as was the things to do and the things to avoid and in which order. Simple to remember with a few choice pointers
Class 5 made a very interesting subject matter. 5.1 & 5.2. Scary stuff
Class 6, even scarier especially within the realms of 6.2
Class 7. Gone to Seascale or Windscale 
Class 8. Just don’t touch it or handle it without wearing protection.
A multitude of sins comes labelled as Class 9 Very Interesting subject.
Thanks Dave
It was a great day and thanks for your ideas and advice.
Best of luck to the 3 candidates although I think they had got the gist of it already. One guy there, Martin spoke better Russian than dieseldave. And he probably spoke better English than the pair of us
When I got home. I taught myself about a new label I had noticed on the boards, as involving a classroom of paying customers would have been unfair.
Part of the Early Learning Centre. I even had a lesson on Sesame Street.
, I was determined not to give up on it 
it was delicious ( three meals in one !!! )
