Become a qualified dangerous goods (ADR) vehicle driver
How to qualify
You’ll need to book and take a training course to qualify to transport dangerous goods. What training course you take depends on what dangerous goods you want to transport.
All the training courses are made up of:
- a core module
- additional modules
The additional modules you should take depend on:
- the types or combinations of dangerous goods you want to transport
- how they’re transported - in packages or in tanks
You’ll need to spend a minimum amount of time training on each module, and have to pass a test at the end.
What you can qualify for
Some types (classes) of dangerous goods have common characteristics - training to carry one of them will allow you to carry others.
You can train to transport:
- one or a small number of dangerous goods classes
- groups of similar dangerous goods
- explosives or radioactive materials
You can choose to train for one or more of these groups at a time, or add more at a later date.
