ADR DRIVER TRAINING CERTIFICATE
An ADR Driver Training Certificate must be carried by any driver who is transporting dangerous goods by road. This is a legal requirement.
Keep It Legal provides a wide range of ADR driver training locally in Essex at its training facility in South Ockendon, as well as tailor-made courses for companies across the UK.
You can check out all of our 2025 course dates further down the page. You can take these courses here at the Keep Legal training centre or even take your ADR training online.
After completion of the relevant course and passing the SQA examinations, drivers will receive the certificate which is valid for 5 years. Within the last year of the ADR certificate expiry date, drivers must then sit the ADR Refresher Course.
Unlike many training companies, Keep It Legal has its very own DGSA on-site. Along with years of experience, Keep Legal can offer quality training at either your site or the purpose-built training facilities at our disposal.
Candidates must pass at least 3 modules to gain the ADR Training certificate; the CORE module, either the TANKS and/or PACKAGES module, and at least one of the nine CLASSES which cover each specific type of main hazard that dangerous goods may have.
Keep It Legal can offer any combination of course however, the most common courses are as follows:
FULL ADR (5-day) – Core, Tanks, Packages, Classes 2-6, 8 & 9
BASIC ADR (3.5-day) – Core, Packages, Classes 2-6, 8 & 9
TANKS ADR (3-day) – Core, Tanks, Class 3
REFRESHER Courses – Refresh your current ADR Certificate
UPGRADE Courses – Add additional modules to your current ADR Certificate
