A DCPC approved ADR course usually counts for 21 hours of the 35 needed and that will cost more than the standard non DCPC ADR course - perhaps around £75 more but not certain

YOU MUST CHECK WITH THE COURSE PROVIDER THAT DCPC WILL COUNT FOR THAT COURSE

If you have a lot of experience and there are lots of tanker jobs in your area then it will definitely help

Hi weeman1,

My honest advice is that you don’t bother with UN Classes 1 or 7 for the following reasons:

  • Both are specialisms, and therefore quite expensive
  • They EACH need one extra full day of tuition
  • Neither of them can be counted for DCPC

I’d add that the tanker module is approx 1.5 days, and is also counted as a specialism, but it’s not usually very expensive. Some ADR providers have registered their tanker module for 7hrs DCPC.
More honest advice… I’d say that you could save money and not bother with the tanker module, unless there’s a realistic chance of you gaining employment as a tanker driver.

Please take ROG’s advice and ask the provider what I call the ‘right’ questions because there is then far less scope for any misunderstandings. :wink:

I can’t disagree with that weeman1. :smiley:

You could do the following:

ADR course covering Core, Packages and seven UN Classes = 21hrs DCPC
HIAB course = 14hrs DCPC

Then it’s job done and you’d have two useful tickets AND a DQC card from DVLA.
