    What will you learn on the course?

    ADR

    Basic Course

    01
    Classification of Goods

    What this module covers:

    Division of goods into 9 hazard classes (explosive, gases, flammable, corrosive, etc.). You will learn to recognise packing groups and hazard levels of individual substances, which is crucial for safe loading.

    02
    Vehicle Marking

    Practical guidelines:

    Rules for placing orange plates (plain and with UN/HIN numbers) and warning labels on transport units and containers. You will learn when marking is required and when it must be removed.

    03
    Transport Documentation

    Correct circulation of documents:

    Detailed analysis of the ADR transport document. You will learn what data must be included (UN number, technical name, tunnel model) and how to check the written instructions for the driver in accordance with the current agreement.

    04
    Emergency Procedures

    Safety and rescue:

    A step-by-step action algorithm in the event of a breakdown, fire or spill. The training covers the rules for notifying emergency services, using emergency equipment (e.g. drain covers, sorbents) and personal protective equipment.

    Hazard recognition

    You will learn to correctly identify dangerous substances based on UN codes and warning labels.

    Correct plates

    You will learn when to use plain plates and when to use plates with numbers to avoid fines during ITD road inspections.

    Transport preparation

    You will gain knowledge on how to compile the necessary documents and check whether the cargo is approved for transport.

    Equipment and safety

    You will learn the rules for using fire extinguishers, sorbents and the ADR kit to respond effectively in emergency situations.

    Who is the basic ADR course intended for?

    1

    Minimum age: 21 years

    In accordance with Polish road transport regulations, a candidate for an ADR driver must be at least 21 years old. This is a statutory requirement that allows you to obtain qualifications for the transport of dangerous goods throughout the European Union.

    2

    Holding a driving licence of any category

    To take part in the training, you must hold a valid driving licence (e.g. category B, C or C+E). The basic course is the foundation — once completed, you can transport dangerous goods with vehicles you are already qualified to drive.

    3

    Willingness to improve qualifications and earnings

    ADR training is one of the best investments in a professional driver's career. Having the qualifications opens the door to work in specialised transport companies, where rates per kilometre and dangerous cargo allowances are significantly higher than in general transport.

    4

    No health contraindications

    The driver should have up-to-date medical and psychological examinations (psychotechnical tests), which are standard for every driver performing road transport of goods.

    After successfully passing the state exam, you will receive a plastic ADR certificate which is valid for 5 years. Before this period expires, it is enough to take a short refresher course to extend the validity of the document for another 5 years without having to retake the full basic course.

    Document recognised throughout the European Union and ADR agreement countries

    Your qualifications are not limited to Poland only. The certificate is issued in accordance with the international ADR agreement, which means it is honoured in all EU countries and many countries outside Europe (e.g. Norway, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom). This opens the door for you to work in international transport companies across the entire continent.

    Qualifications for transport in packages and in bulk

    The basic course gives you broad competences. The document you receive authorises you to drive vehicles carrying dangerous goods of almost all classes (except classes 1 and 7) in the form of packages (e.g. pallets, crates, parcels, barrels) and in bulk (e.g. transport in containers or cargo boxes). This is an essential foundation that you can later extend with a tanker specialisation.
