Hi guys,
I am about to start to do an ADR licence, which I hope will help me to get better offer (work). But before I start this licence, I would like to ask you guys to advice me if I go for this ADR licence or any different licence instead.
Many thanks in advance 
Make me one as well please, and a C+E licence for my missus, so we can double man.
Sapper not much point in this post now that his has been edited

Is that an advice or request?
I did my ADR and it has opened doors to good paying roles that wouldn’t have been available to me otherwise. The only reason why I did it was to make me learn from the DCPC rather than fall asleep in a classroom being told bollox that I already know.
You could look at Hiab, but only if you want to be delivering to houses and building sites.
Maybe Moffett?
Go for Hiab.
Having both Hiab and Moffet qualifications, I prefer the hiab work.
If you can, hang fire on getting anything else other than ADR, you might land a company who will pay for further development
I m still thinking about it
I did my ADR and Hiab at the same time , this covered the hours required for my cpc . They have both run out now though as i’ve retired .
What about the certificate of ADR safety advisor ?
Every company must have at least one driver who owns this adviser certificate, so don’t you think that having this certificate will help to get better job with better pay?

Don’t know who told you that one. A company who transports dangerous goods must have a dgsa, no reason it has to be a driver though

That’s correct Jay, I’ll just add that the DGSA exams are notoriously difficult to pass because they require a proper written answer (no multi-choice) along with the reference for where the answer came from in the books.
When Dave says “books” he means kindof War & Peace size of books from what I’ve seen…! How on earth anyone learns all of that and can remember where in the books it appears is anyones guess.

At least War & Peace size. 
The 2 ADR books are approx. 2.5" thick when laid one on top of the other and run to approx. 1,300 pages weighing in at over 3.5Kg.
If only it were as simple as that though… there are some other books too that cover UK national work, another for UK tanker marking requirements and a separate book of derogations.
Then there are also a few Authorisations from the DfT and some multilateral agreements to think of.
