I paid for ADR myself and got 21 hours DCPC. This made it easier to get the other 14 hours, hence I now have ADR and DCPC. As for Agency work, ummmm spose it does help. I have been offered jobs that I know other drivers can’t do cos they ain’t got ADR.
All helps to keep you in work, as long as there is work. The more work you do, the more you will be offered, if that makes sense.

Well that maybe the case but have you thought that this person 1st language is not English dont think it is even 2nd might be his 3rd language
But you could try posting on a site that is maybe your 3rd language that is if you have a 3rd & see how you get on

I don’t give a toss how many languages it speaks, I don’t understand most of its posts, so, I don’t see them anymore.
I don’t post on German sites because I cannot write in German clearly.
Anyways, I’m not getting into a discussion with you and going off topic, you spend 5 minutes trying to decipher this persons posts, I have better things to do.
Nothing to see here, move along.

Good, so it’s not just me, phew.
As for ADR, I think it’s a good investment, over 5 years you should be able to recoup that. Quite a few containers are hazardous, makes you a bit more indispensable. Not many 'immigrants have ADR in my experience.
Did not think that hiab counted towards cpc?

I was told it could. It’s training.
My ADR runs out this year, going to let it lapse and then do the whole course again due to the DCPC, the company I am doing it through gives you 28hrs for the actual ADR course and also throws in another 7 hr course for free so ADR and DCPC sorted, rinse and repeat every 5 years and the jobs a good un. 
More digging needed then…our instructor didn’t think hiab counted as adr did. will dig some more then…
Might get agency work at one of the ports. System training at Bury St Edmonds run the combined ADR/Dvr CPC courses I think

Hi scottie0011,
It is possible to keep yourself continuously licensed from an ADR point of view…
You can take your ADR refresher any time in the last year of its validity, but not within the last five weeks.
You can sit an initial ADR course as a refresher candidate and still get all those DCPC hours you mentioned.
If you take this option, just produce your current ADR certificate to the instructor at the start of the course to prove refresher entitlement, then the job’s a good 'un.
Just ask the instructor to put a cross in the correct ‘refresher’ box in the ‘official use’ part at the bottom of the ADR course joining form.

IIRC doing a HIAB course from scratch will get you 2 x 7hr modules towards the DCPC if the course provider is an accredited trainer, and you pay the additional upload fees. As for HIAB refresher training no doubt some else will tell you how many hours you can accrue

Lol, we have 5 trucks in Manchester, only ADR driver out of 5 of us is a Polish driver, other 4 are English and no ADR.

(HIAB instructors hat on ) As long as the course is registered with the DCPC mob the refresher would counts as 7 hours (HIAB instructors hat off )
im just waiting to hear if the training manager at our place has registered me with JAUPT yet so they lads at our place ho will be doing their refreshers can get the 7 hours for it

Hi Steve,
I’d say that quite a number of immigrants have an ADR, cos I’ve had to check their ADR certificates when they come on an ADR refresher course.
Then there are a number of immigrants I’ve trained as ‘initial’ ADR candidates too.
TBF though, my ‘experience’ is different to yours, so that might explain it.

Doh, I have no experience of Drivers in YOUR area, in and around Ipswich was where I based ‘my experience’. My comment still stands, nob.
