Our ADR Awareness 1-Day training will cover many of the basic principles of handling and transporting dangerous goods by road.
Some who may work in warehouses may have to handle or carry dangerous goods, but do not need the full ADR certification as the amount of a certain dangerous good they carry is well below the threshold.
This course is designed to meet the needs of those who may not work with raw hazardous goods, but must understand the key principles of dealing with products which could become hazardous when exposed to another element.
Upon completing this course, you should be able to:
- Understand the importance of ADR Awareness
- Know basic emergency procedures
- Understand the importance of keeping within load thresholds
- How to store and segregate certain products which may contain a hazardous compound
- Know why it is important to properly pack and label dangerous goods

I would definitely recommend 2 Start Ltd for all CPC training requirements
I attended the car to C+E course. Had the best experience from knowing nothing to passing my test first time all thanks to Phil my instructor, the knowledge and skills he gave me during the two weeks was second to none. Thanks to the whole team at 2 Start as they were all happy to help through the whole process. Whenever I need to do another course they will be the first people I will contact. Five stars isn’t enough.
Great training, guidance and feedback from Phil and Will resulting in a first time pass.
Very nice experience with 2 Start LTD PortsmouthI recommend it to anyone who wants to learn about driving. Very friendly people and instructors. I had Phil as an instructor and I was very happy with his ability and experience he taught me very well how to drive an arctic CE category from small car. Thank you very much for all the support and believing in me! 10 stars not 5

I passed with these guys yesterday (19th April), my tutor Alex was excellent, patient and extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend using 2 Start Theale.
I completed my car to C+E Fast Track with Alex at Theale and passed first time! I'm in no doubt this was down to expert instruction by Alex who was fantastic throughout my two week course. A professional, knowledgeable instructor who calmly guided me through the process from scratch to test. I would highly recommend 2 Start to anyone wanting to learn how to drive cat C or C+E and no doubt anything else. They have great equipment, facilities and instructors and will be the first choice for me if I look to add any more categories to my license and for CPC training.
Alex and Ryan trained me. Doing the car to C+E fast track course, came out with a pass! Cracking time and experience, appreciate all the hard work the team put in especially Alex and Ryan, couldn’t have asked for a better couple of lads to help me through. Thank you!
I had a really good time with Roy C from 2Start learning how to drive a rough terrain forklift. I thought I had quite a lot of driving experience but learning to drive the rough terrain forklift was one of the most challenging thing I have done for a while. Ray C is a great teacher and simplified the complex process of lifting and moving objects with the forklift by breaking down the various tasks contained in the test into manageable sections so that it was easier to learn. I highly recommend 2start Training and Roy C as a great instructor.
I have passed today, thank you very much 2 Start ltd, especially to MR. INSTRUCTOR and Guru, my English brother Mark. Thank you very much, I really appreciate your professional attitude. With love Miroslav 🇸🇰🇬🇧👍🏻

Passed my C+E today. I've held my C licence for 20 years and it that time I picked up some bad habits. I spent 3 days with Greg then the last 2 with Jon. Between them they fettled my skills. I started the test with a good feeling of confidence. Both instructors were true professional. They are 100% honest in there assessment then they work with you at your pace to address any issues you may have. I feel they have a true passion for their job. The facilities or clean and tidy as are the vehicles. Every aspect is professional. I would have no hesitation recommending 2 Start.
I had a brilliant experience with 2Start Ltd (Worthing). Passed my Class 1 (C+E), and the entire process was smooth. My instructor, Paul, was fantastic – patient, professional, and really understood how to help me succeed. If you're looking for a great training provider, I highly recommend2Start.
Past my category c driving license with rob @ 2 start. I can’t recommend these guys enough. Rob was very calm and gave very clear instructions and advice to improve my driving. He gave grate feedback and positive encouragement. Was happy to answer any questions and concerns I had. Plus I passed my test 1st time with the one week of training. The site is clean and tidy and the lorry’s are kept very clean and tidy as well. Everyone staff member I met at the depot where polite, friendly & approachable. Unfortunately Rob wasn’t present for my test but the depot manager who took me to test was just as polite and friendly. And Rob even took the time to congratulate me after passing.
Great training center to get your C licence and CPC.Great staff and trainers who help you giving you the keys to pass at first attempt.Totally recommended
