Initial vs refresher vs awareness training

Initial ADR training is for drivers who are new to ADR or whose card has expired.

Refresher ADR training is for drivers with a valid ADR card:

You can take refresher training one year before your current card expires to extend your qualification by 5 years from the expiry date.
If you take refresher training more than 12 months before expiry, the new card will last 5 years from the date you pass.
You must pass refresher exams at least 6 weeks before your card expires.

ADR awareness training is for drivers carrying loads below the ADR threshold, as well as non-driving staff such as loaders, packers, forklift operators, warehouse workers, supervisors, managers, and administrative personnel engaged in planning or documentation.

Exams and certification

ADR assessment is carried out via multiple-choice exams. Results are available instantly, so you’ll know the outcome as soon as you’ve completed each exam. If you do not pass an exam, resits can be taken on the same day, subject to availability and timing.

The number of exams you take will depend on the course you choose. The exams are as follows:

Core.
Packages.
Tankers (if applicable).
Common Characteristics – general principles relevant across all classes.
Group A – Classes 2 (Gases), 3 (Flammable Liquids), 6 (Toxic & Infectious Substances), and 8 (Corrosives).
Group B – Classes 4 (Flammable Solids), 5 (Oxidisers & Organic Peroxides), and 9 (Miscellaneous).

Upon successful completion of the SQA exams, a new ADR photo ID card (issued by DVSA) displaying your entitlements. This card is valid for five years from the date of issue. If you are adding modules to an existing certificate, your expiry date remains unchanged.
