When you’re moving dangerous goods across the UK or Europe, being properly qualified isn’t optional – it’s a legal requirement. If you're a driver handling these materials, you must complete a recognised ADR training course. At HCPC Training, we make it straightforward and focused on what drivers actually need.
Finding trustworthy ADR training can be frustrating. You need to understand the full scope of the ADR rules, meet Department for Transport standards, and stay compliant at every stage. With so many rules and responsibilities, it’s easy to feel confused. That’s why we deliver clear, practical training that helps you get certified without the stress.
If you transport dangerous goods — whether they are gases, liquids, solids, or explosives — ADR training isn't optional. It's a legal requirement under UK law and international agreements. The ADR (Accord Dangereux Routier) sets clear requirements for how drivers and vehicles handle loads safely.
Without proper ADR certification, you can't legally transport controlled materials, putting your licence and livelihood at risk.
At HCPC Training, our ADR training courses are designed to fully prepare you for real-world situations, covering every part of the ADR framework. From the core module packages to specialised units like tanker modules, we ensure you meet all requirements confidently and competently.
We provide comprehensive training courses that span the full spectrum of ADR classifications, including:
Core Module Packages: The foundation every driver needs.
Tanker Module: For transporting liquids and gases.
Class 1 – Explosives: Safe handling of volatile materials.
Class 2 – Gases: Secure transport of compressed, liquefied, or dissolved gases.
Class 3 – Flammable Liquids and Class 4 – Flammable Solids.
Class 5 – Oxidising Substances and Organic Peroxides.
Class 6, 7, 8 and 9: Covering toxic, radioactive, corrosive, and miscellaneous substances.
Each module includes a detailed look at the ADR regulations you’ll need to apply daily. Whether you need initial training or an ADR refresher course, our programmes suit drivers at every stage.
At HCPC Training, we guide you through every step, making the order and completion process stress-free. Here's how it works:
Enrolment: Choose a course that matches your needs — whether it's standard ADR training, Driver CPC combined training, or specialised classes like ADR tanks.
