As an example, I know these guys want you to have both packages and tanks…I don’t think they have any ‘tankers’ though…
They don’t have tanks not always the easiest company to get into mind but there are others that like you to have ADR as well

Trying to suss them out is another thing though I’m finding…

They are on Nelson industrial est not far from DTS
I know who and where Lubbers are… (Carp at wording posts sometimes me… 
)
I’ve met Stuart, the Manager from there.
Only thing is, AFAIK, they only do C+E work. And I only have my C licence… 
‘Sussing out’, I meant who else is out there that may want ADR etc…
I did my full ADR through TTS 2.75 yrs ago & they dont charge VAT because they are linked in with Sunderland College / University (or very similar) and get around it that way. I remember paying around the £500 mark all in. I did my homework & no one could touch the price. I have to date never used the ADR qualification but it contributed significantly towards the CPC hours. Would I do it again knowing what I do at present…NO, as in the North East (Northumberland / Tyneside area there isnt alot of tanker work as most of it is M`boro / Hartlepool way & I dont want to be travelling 1hr each way. Also I found as a new driver (Class 1) you had to build your experience & obviously they wouldnt let a newbie loose on a tanker. Hope that helps.
Understand Mark…
But my thinking is…
I’m wanting to return to driving as the wife’s health isn’t looking look, so I’m wanting to ‘future proof’ our incomes. She’s the main wage earner and I want to take her pressure off her for being that…
And so, I need my DCPC to return to driving as I left just before it kicked in.
So if I get my ADR, I get a bit more ‘bang for my buck’, rather than only doing the DCPC on its own.
OK, as you said if I do or don’t use it, it’ll always be there…
And as for work in general? Isn’t that the case round here anyway you needing to travel?

Exactly correct!! 
Now you might consider that ADR tanker module, but only if the provider offers DCPC hours with it, so please be careful to ask the right question when you book your course. 
Sadly you will have to go through the cpc tests. Then do your adr anyway.

Good luck goldfinger…sounds good…and some great advice from an adr man in dave … i was put through my course and paid for, and i took everything on offer apart from 1 and 7…the work i was doing was on iso tanks on adr, and also on groupage which had adr packages…so all was covered…however, when i left that job, and my licence ran out, i asked whether it was worth my while to do it again…the answer was NO, as most companies do not reflect the money you have paid out, by offering a good wage. However, there are companies that only do adr work…so its beneficial…my advice would be…if its to get work because the company is local, or because they pay a good wage with adr, i would go for that if its just for a keep just in case scenario…dont bother…hope that makes sense…and good luck with your quest.

According to TTS when I rang them…
(Hope I remember this right…)
They said I’d only need 1 days DCPC ‘if’ I do the whole tanks and packs, but two days if I don’t take the tanks module…
Is this what you mean Dave…?

Yes
There is another company in Blyth ( Kitty Brewster ) he does ADR work but you don’t get much more pay for it tbh
Have you tried some of the tipper companies for work on cat C
Another good trainer for cpc is a guy called Jason www.ugetraining.co.uk

OK… err… I’ll write this s l o w l y in case you read it too fast. 
Let’s recap…
You need 35 hrs of DCPC to get your (DCPC) DQC card.
You want an ADR course, and that’ll take 3 days of tuition to get you 21hrs towards your DCPC. (3 X 7hrs.)
It normally takes 3.5 days, but you can’t have DCPC for the half day for the exams)
If you do the above, you’ll be 14 hrs shy of your target.
If you take the tanker module, it might get you 7hrs DCPC… but only if the provider has got his ADR tanker module registered for DCPC.
If you find out (by asking at the time you make your booking) that the tanker module doesn’t have 7hrs DCPC on offer, you might decide not to do the tanker module because you can maybe get something that ticks the DCPC box for less money than the tanker module costs.
This would leave you needing 14hrs DCPC to complete your 35hrs.
If the tanker module does have 7hrs DCPC on offer, then you might consider taking it because it ticks TWO boxes
(One on your ADR licence, and the other for 7hrs towards your DCPC, which would make a total of 28 so far.)
This would leave you needing just 7hrs DCPC to complete your 35hrs.
TTS did inform you correctly, and you do have a choice.
Think we’re all getting tied in knots here Dave…
But yes, I do understand… 
And Animal, thanks for that. That web link though has ‘expired’■■
And I think it’s Pearts (sp) fuels that are in Kitty Brewster…
