Anyone know of a good trainer , want to do adr and hiab in the next couple of months, found a company called cds in birmingham for adr , price seems good, anyone used them. No luck looking for hiab and prices vary wildly
In Leicester, call Rick at Data Academy for ADR. His tutor is Diesel Dave who is the acknowledged authority on ADR so you wont go wrong there. I’m sure Rick can give you a contact for HIAB if he doesn’t do it himself.
Give him my regards whilst your’e at it! Pete 
Thanks Peter will give them a call on Monday 
You can try j Coates they do ADR and hiab www.jcoates.co.uk

Andrew,
Wouldn’t it be more accurate to say “we” do ADR and HIAB?
You said “they” as if you had no connection to J Coates, so would you care to clarify that please?
Just as suspected, done a search on him against the word coates and came up with over 30 matches, do not like to be deceived hence will not be booking with coates. 
BTW, Rick owes me a pint if you book - no such arrangement with Coates!!

Peter, I rang Data Academy , all sorted for ADR thanks for the recommendation
Now collect your pint sir
Now collect your pint sir
Glad to hear you’re sorted. I might get a cuppa next time in Leicester! Pete

When I tried them last year they wanted £300 for the course (just me). Ended up with a company in Oxfordshire which I managed with OK and it only cost me just under £100. PM me for details 
However, I’m pretty sure the trainer was based in Northants, but regularly goes out to sites to train their operators, but I could dig up the details if interested.
Do some digging, look around, ask questions and watch out for brokers. They are in most industries these days!!!

Ahh, I didn’t notice the earlier inflictions and underlying intentions with Burnie’s statement, but then I also didn’t know he worked for Coates.
When I was searching for training schools recently I did notice that COATES came up with EVERYTHING including looking for doing your class 2 with a rubber chicken strapped to your back, and coates did a training course for that too so clearly they are expanding into the next century
But it comes down to their advertising and how they are getting in with the rankings on places like Google.
PS. I won’t do any training with any rubber farm animals attached to me, I’m not that sick you know!
I would also recommend rick and the lads at data academy … very proffesional and helpful bunch , they’'ll sort ya out .
