Dangerous Goods Safety Adviser Training (DGSA)

Become qualified, compliant and confident in managing the safe transport of dangerous goods. This training covers ADR regulations, documentation, the DGSA role and exam preparation, delivered nationwide in flexible formats.

What is the Dangerous Goods Safety Adviser Training?

The DGSA role is critical when your organisation consigns, loads or transports dangerous goods by road, rail or inland waterways. According to Department for Transport (DfT) guidance, businesses regularly involved must appoint a DGSA who monitors compliance, advises on safety and completes an annual report.

Our DGSA Training Course delivers the specialist knowledge, practical skills and examination readiness you need to fulfil this vital role. Whether you are seeking initial qualification or renewal, we equip you to protect your business, licence and reputation.

Who the DGSA Course Is For

This course is designed for:
  • Individuals aiming to qualify as a DGSA and take the Core, Road and All-Classes examinations.
  • Existing DGSAs preparing for re-validation.
  • Fleet managers, transport compliance officers, safety professionals and operators responsible for dangerous goods logistics.
  • Organisations seeking to strengthen their hazardous goods governance and demonstrate proactive compliance.
If your operation moves bulk, packaged or restricted quantities of dangerous goods, this training is highly relevant.
