ADR Counts Toward DCPC

ADR training is approved as Periodic Training

DSA are pleased to announce that elements of dangerous goods training for LGV drivers can be counted as part of their Driver CPC periodic training.

The following amount of time of ADR training will count towards their periodic training:

  • Up to a maximum of 21 hours of the basic course
  • 7 hours of the core module refresher course

All of the modules within the syllabus can be used except Tanks, Class 1 and Class 7, providing the number of hours training does not exceed the above guidelines.

The full course including examinations must be completed in order to count for Driver CPC

Please note: the specialist modules that are delivered outside of the basic course will not be accepted for periodic training, as it is considered the syllabi for these modules are too specialist and do not map readily across to the Driver CPC syllabus.
