CPC Examination Centres (Aberdeen, Belfast, Birmingham, Darlington, Glasgow, London, Portsmouth, Somerset, Warrington).

A classroom course for CPC Freight National (Units 1, 2, 4) or CPC Passenger National (Units 1, 3, 5) will need 8 days. Despite what claims you might have read, you cannot get a full CPC training course done properly in less than 8 days. A CPC HGV (Freight) or CPC PSV Standard International course takes another 3 days.

Free classroom CPC resit training courses are offered for any CPC Friendberry candidate who is unfortunate enough to fail after following a complete CPC training course in the classroom. There are few failures.

Operators licence legislation requires all Standard International Operators to either hold a Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) or have in their employ a similarly qualified Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) holder.

The Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) is recognised throughout Europe because it is an official European Operators Licence qualification and it is the standard recognised by each country's Operators Licence department.

To test CPC knowledge, CPC exams are set by the OCR examining body 4 times per year (except PSV international) and always on a Friday. We can accept you for your CPC exam.

Accommodation is either provided or available on all courses. Buffet lunches can be provided and there is ample parking.

DGSA Dangerous Goods Safety Advisor (Adviser) Friendberry

If your drivers of dangerous goods (hazardous goods) come within scope of the UK CDG (Carriage of Dangerous Goods Regulations), you will need to have or be a DGSA (Dangerous Goods Safety Advisor). This DGSA regulation applies to all road transport companies.

DGSA training required by the UK CDG can be either in the classroom or at home and it involves DGSA exams set by SQA (The Scottish Qualifications Authority). The UK Carriage of dangerous goods regulations (CDG) invoke the requirements of ADR dangerous goods regulations.

Hazardous (dangerous) goods can be carried in some kind of package. The majority can be carried in a road tanker (Hazchem) also.

Special Offer:

Drivers living over 90 miles from Taunton are offered a discount on DGSA classroom training (Conditions apply). DGSA exams are set by the SQA. Mandatory legislation including ADR and the UK CDG is required.

For further information or to book your course, go to DGSA training course.

DGSA training is usually for all 9 ADR classes of dangerous goods as this gives the easiest and simplest SQA (Scottish Qualifications Authority) DGSA set of exams. The exams are named Core, Road and Classes and are sat on the same day. The DGSA training certificate lasts 5 years.

If you wish home study, you can study at your leisure. We will supply the DGSA training material in the form of manuals accompanied by audio CDs plus DVDs.

DGSA classroom courses are carried out as close to the exam as possible. 'New' Dangerous Goods Safety Advisers may take an initial DGSA training course relating to the carriage of dangerous goods & which lasts up to 5 days depending on your confidence level.

'Existing' Dangerous Goods Safety Advisors take DGSA 'refresher' training relating to the carriage of dangerous goods & which lasts for up to 4 days depending on your confidence level.

Accommodation is possible during the DGSA training and there is ample parking. SQA exams are sat at the SQA DGSA centre nearest to you (Find DGSA exam venues on the SQA site).
