Initial driver cpc module 4 requires the use of a truck but not the periodic driver cpc which you need to get 35 hours of

the choice of which courses get you to the 35 hours is entirely up to you - a basic ADR dcpc approved course usually gets you 21 hours

You have until 09/09/2014 to get all 35 hours if you wish to drive LGVs commercially after that date

Hi. Your ADR counts for 28hrs (I believe - if not it’s 21). Anyway, the difference between the ADR hours and 35hrs total has to be done to complete the driver cpc. You will not need a truck. Most modules are classroom based.

You do not apply for the driver cpc. Each approved trainer will upload your info onto the system which will automatically churn out your Driver Qualification Card once it’s had 35hrs registered. It will be valid for 5 years from the end of your current entitlement. Grandfather Rights take you to Sept 2014 so your card will expire Sept 2019.

Hope that helps, Pete :laughing: :laughing:

THANX PETE

thanx rog do the training firm supply truck,

No truck required for ADR. If you have a current driver cpc either from passing the tests or grandfather rights, then you need periodic training driver cpc. ADR will count as most of this and the balance is normally classroom based - so no truck required.

If you haven’t already got any entitlement to driver cpc then you need a case studies test (Module 2) and the Practical Demonstration Test (Module 4). The Module 4 does require a truck. This will be supplied by any trainer who has carried out the training for the module 4.

Hope this straightens out what seems to be a bit of confusion.

thanx peter got it sussed now thanx for info mate

You can only claim 21 hours Peter according to JAUPT website, although it does say that you can get 7 hours for the ADR Refresher? :confused:

JAUPT only allow the first 3 days, they will not accept specialisms like Tankers, Explosives or Radioactive and time taken doing tests or exams cannot be included.

The ADR is normally 4 days with tankers on the fifth day, so it can only allow the first 3 days of an ADR course.

I have nothing to do with ADR, though we do provide major quantities of driver cpc. That’s why I wasn’t sure of the hours and I stand corrected.

Hi Malc,

It’s true that a ‘standard’ (= Core, Packs and seven Classes) ADR course can be counted as either 7, 14, or 21 DCPC hours, or simply as one 21 hour lump. Either way, there’s no real advantage unless the provider’s clientele only take Core, Packs and just one or two Classes.

However, some ADR course writers/providers have ‘dressed-up’ the tanker module as Health and Safety and legal compliance (or something else acceptable to JAUPT’s way of doing things) so there’s the possibility that a driver can get a total of 28 DCPC hours for some ADR courses.

My advice to ADR providers is to look carefully at the costs involved and decide whether there’s enough interest in the tanker module to make it worthwhile going through the JAUPT hoops (and cost) of registering it.

I’d say as a rough average that if 10 guys do an ADR course, then 3 or 4 will take the tanker module because of haulage companies’ widespread (wrong) belief that the drivers will clear off to a tanker firm if they’ve got their tanker ticket.
