are these worth doin for a newbee??
well im a newbie passed c+e a few weeks back,and ive just taken my adr course this week.i personally think if you can afford it, the extra licenses must help,(well cant hurt) .Unfortunately didnt realise id have to wait 3 weeks to find out if i passed or not,so sat at home with fingers crossed waiting.

Research your local companies and see if there is a call for drivers with either of these qualifications - no point in paying to do them if they are of no use to anyone in your area.
Worth doing if you can get jobcentre or any one else to foot the bill also it could count towards the very necessary C.P.C.
The more you can offer an employer the better chance you have- if it’s the choice of you a newbee with all the licences and someone with experience driving but no hiab/adr then the employer may be willing to give you a chance, can’t do any harm in my opinion 
A moffatt course may be worth considering too.

Its a lorry mounted forklift, used to self tip at drops. IIRC you have to get your C/B license then upgrade that to a moffat license so you’d have to do two courses, possibly you might have to do your reach flt test too before you can get your moffat, but i’m not too sure on that one

Hi Brian,
A Moffett is a kind of forklift that is carried by a truck for use at the loading/unloading point.
They’re very useful in cases where it is known that there won’t be a forklift or labour to load/unload, so that qualification might be very useful indeed.
As already suggested though, I’d adivise that you do some local research first to see whether there’s a need for a particular skill in your area.
You can see examples of the subject of Moffetts if you

Hi Brian,
No need to bring pies or apples mate!!
All you need to bring is yourself and your driving licence.
The boss has an arrangement with a catering firm, who sends a butty van to the classroom at lunchtime.
You’ll get a free baguette each day that you’re on the course, plus the opportunity to buy any extras that you might want such as pies, pop, crisps or extra butties.
Tea and coffee are also free and don’t come from a vending machine, cos you make your own.
Not all providers do that.
There’s some of the fun from a previous course HERE
cool looking foreward to it . how long does it take to get the results back??
