Frequently Asked Questions

Need some assistance, or have a question?

What is an ADR Licence?

An ADR Licence allows the holder to transport dangerous goods by road. ADR is an internationally recognised qualification and is recognised by many drivers that transport dangerous goods by road.

How do I get an ADR Licence?

You obtain an ADR License by completing a course and passing a series of examinations. You will do exams based on the classes of dangerous goods you will transport.

How easy are the ADR exams?

The difficulty of the exams usually depends on how well the candidate is able to understand the content. EP's highly experienced ADR instructor will set you up with the best possible chance of passing the exams. The vast majority of candidates usually pass every exam even if a free and immediate retest is required. EP's ADR exams are generally most challenging by candidates whose first language is not English.

How much do EP's ADR courses cost?

A C1 course, which includes the tanker, will cost £750. This will cover every module of ADR apart from Explosives - Class 1 and Radioactives - Class 7.

A P1 course or another ADR course with specific ADR classes will not include the tanker and will cost £650. Once again, this does not include Class 1 and Class 7.

Class 1 and Class 7 courses can be booked seperately for £300 each.

How long will the licence last?

After 5 years you will need to return to a training company such as EP for refresher training and examinations in order to continue carrying dangerous goods.

Can I get CPC whilst completing ADR?

Yes, if a candidate would like CPC included, and they have passed Intitial CPC, attendance of the C1 course can entitle a candate with 28 hours Drivers CPC. A P1 course or another ADR course with specific Classes can entitle a candidate with 21 hours Driver CPC.

If you require more hours of CPC after the course, individual online 7 hours Drivers CPC courses are available to book free of charge.

When will I get my ADR Exam Results?

EP Training is one of the few training companies that use online based examinations, meaning that the results come through immediately after you have finished each exam. You simply need to ask a member of staff after you have finished the exams and they will tell you the result.

Can I do the ADR course online?

This is possible, however EP Training strongly reccomend attending the course in person as ADR courses are relatively intensive courses that are best understood in a classroom environment.

Where will I complete the course and exams?

The ADR training and examinations are completed entirely at our training centre in Great Bookham. You will complete an online based exam on one of EP Training's laptops.

Do I need an HGV licence to get an ADR licence?

You do not need to have an HGV licence to have an ADR licence. An ADR licence just means you can carry dangerous goods by road, so having only a car licence or even a motorcycle licence would be enough.
