Refresher course

Who it is for
Any driver renewing an ADR certificate, including classes 1 and 7.
Duration
8 × 45 minutes plus a 45-minute examination — one day
Prerequisite
a valid or expiring ADR certificate

Your ADR certificate is valid for five years. You may attend the refresher course from twelve months before it expires; the renewal then runs for five years from the current certificate’s expiry date, so you lose no time. If the certificate has already expired, you have to take the basic course again.

Dangerous-goods consulting

Companies involved in transporting dangerous goods by rail, road, water or air must formally appoint at least one dangerous-goods safety adviser. We can act as your external dangerous-goods safety adviser. We also advise on the storage, production and transport of dangerous goods.

Forklift, lorry crane and earthmoving machinery

Under the German employers’ liability insurance rules, every business must restrict work with these machines to trained operators. Our courses build the knowledge and skill required, grounded in the physics involved and in the accident-prevention regulations.
