About Driver Link Training

Driverlink Training (NW) formed in 2010 by 2 very experienced operatives from the Transport sector. As experienced Transport managers and drivers, we understood needs from both sides of the desk and formed such a product, Driverlink Training (NW) fast become one of the North West's largest Transport Training companies.
In mid 2016, Driverlink Training were granted their Operators Licence to move in to the haulage sector. We chosen to run a fleet of Mercedes Actros tractor units because of the build quality, looks and above all, the reliability.

ADR Training

New for October 2016 ADR Training Courses – Beat the examination queues and gain instant results with our online examinations.

ADR Training is simple, when you understand how it works. Firstly, you have to do the Core Class, then you decide how are you going to carry the hazardous goods, is it in a Tank, a Package or both? ADR is then broken down in to 9 Classes, each Class is for represents different products, eg, class 3 is for fuel. You would then decide which class you need to take – the most common route is 7 classes, excluding 1 & 7.
