The carriage of dangerous goods by road has inherent risks and dangers and by attending recognised training, drivers can reduce the hazards to themselves and to other road users by following industry guidelines and health and safety legislation.

Transporting dangerous goods in the following vehicles will require the driver to hold a valid ADR Vocational Training Certificate:

• A road tanker with a capacity greater than 1,000 litres
• A tank container with a capacity greater than 3,000 litres
• A vehicle having a permissible maximum weight exceeding 3.5 tonnes

ADR drivers must obtain a vocational training certificate after receiving appropriate training and passing a written examination.

Completing an ADR course with TTS will enable you to identify the risks associated with transporting dangerous goods and prepare you for the Scottish Qualifications Authority examinations (the Department for Transport’s chosen examining agent). It is the minimum legal requirement for individuals responsible for driving vehicles containing dangerous goods and substances in tanks or packages.

Module 001 – Any class of dangerous goods in tankers and packages (core module)
