The five-year gap between DGSA requalification’s and the fact that most people only use very specific provisions on a day-to-day basis often means that candidates are less prepared than they would like.

To aid those considering requalification, the Chemical Business Association has designed a two-day workshop to update and refresh all aspects of the ADR chapters and provide specific exam guidance and question practice.

The exam is an ‘open book’ format and so all the information necessary is at the candidate’s fingertips. However, candidates also need to understand ‘how to apply the knowledge’, ‘what the markers will be looking for’ and ‘how to reference the answers’.

The workshop will provide information on the following topics:

• The UK exam syllabus and structure
• Common exam pitfalls and errors
• Sample question practice on all three exam
  papers
• Overview of the nine ADR chapters
• Update on changes in previous editions
• Limited and Excepted quantities
• Small Load limits
• Transport documentation
• HCDG and supervision
• Labels, marks and placards
• Packing considerations
• Packaging
• Portable tanks and tankers
• Special provisions
