ADR Instructor Qualifications – General
Instructors conducting ADR courses covering the core, practical, packages, classes 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 9 and the Tanker specialism must meet the following standards:
• They must hold a current vocational training certificate covering the modules on which they are required to instruct.
• They must either hold a recognised qualification as a trainer or instructor of adults, or provide evidence of substantial experience of preparing and running courses for adults on job related topics, in a formal classroom environment.
• They must either show that they have substantial operational experience of the transport of the dangerous substances for which training is to be conducted (either in a managerial/supervisory capacity, or as drivers/operatives), or provide evidence in the form of a qualification or substantial experience relevant to each of the modules of training to be covered that, in the opinion of the Department or SQA, is of an equivalent or superior standard. In this context, the Dangerous Goods Safety Adviser Certificate is considered to meet the required standard. Equivalence may also be achieved through the successful completion of a formal training course covering operational and instructional matters. This involves a number of assessments of knowledge and ability that have been recognised in advance by the Department or SQA.
