While the subject matter of the course was sufficient, I found the pace to be too fast (straight lecture - just spitting out facts fast and furious) and without interactive exercises/few external references to engage the participant with reinforced learning. It was more of a memory exercise and how to look up confusing information in the arduous, difficult to navigate ADR Reference Books with assorted corrigenda. In my opinion, Lion Technology/J.J. Keller have superior platforms and presentations.

This course covered alot of general information but the review and exam questions were very specific. ADR is a very broad regulation set and alot of the things covered were out of the scope when considering the shippers perspective. I think the developers of this course should consider 2 different training courses rather than trying to cram the shippers and carriers responsibilities in one program. As a shippers, this is more confusing than helpful. Overall, the course was very informative and it provided a general introduction to the ADR regulations. (Double check the grammar in your exam questions, a few of them didn't read correctly.)
