ADR Dangerous Goods
About the licence
In line with the European agreement concerning the international carriage of dangerous goods by road, drivers who are carrying hazardous substances must hold a valid ADR qualification.
All ADR exams are now completely electronically, meaning your card will be returned within just a few days of successful completion.
The qualification is broken down into classes concerning different types of hazardous materials (see diagram below).
