Frequently Asked Questions?
Do I need a certificate to ship dangerous goods?
Yes, legally you cannot ship dangerous goods by road in the UK or overseas without sufficient training.
How long does the certificate last?
There is no expiry date on our certificates for the transport of dangerous goods by road. ADR chapter 1.3 states retraining should take place ‘periodically’ without stating a specific timeframe. We suggest training should take place in line with changes to the regulations every two years.
Does the course cover me to ship dangerous goods by air?
No, this course only covers road and sea transport.
Are there any pre-study requirements?
There are no pre-study requirements for this training course, however, we recommend discussing your objectives with your manager before attending the course. It is also helpful to share UN numbers with the trainer on the course so they can personalise the training as much as possible.
Is the certificate valid overseas?
The ADR (road) regulations, only apply in specific countries – the 54 that are signatories to the agreement. Please check here to see if your country is a signatory.
