Table 1: Application Fee per ATI

per ATI

ADR Programme for Drivers transporting ADR in Packagings and Bulk, excluding Classes 1 and 7 CHF 1,900

ADR Programme for Drivers transporting ADR in Tanks, excluding Classes 1 and 7

CHF 1,900

ADR Programme for Loading and Unloading Specialists

CHF 1,900

ADR Programme for Dangerous Goods Safety Advisor

The Application Fee is non-refundable. ANNUAL FEE The Annual Fee is a flat rate of CHF 190, irrespective of which IRU Academy ADR programme the ATI holds accreditation(s) for. For the third and subsequent accreditations, the annual fee is reduced by 50%.

√

√

√


PER STUDENT FEE Your Institute and its branches, if any, commit to register its students in the “IRU Academy Online” (AOL) to maintain its accreditation. For each Certificate issued to a student registered in AOL, an “IRU Academy Certificate Fee Per Student” will be settled on a yearly basis and must be paid within 30 days of the invoice date. The “IRU Academy Certificate Fee Per Student” is calculated as 2% of your Institute’s “Full Training Fee Charged to Students by ATI” that must be indicated in Appendix 9 (pages 10-14 – Annex A to the ATI ADR Agreement). The “IRU Academy Certificate Fee Per Student” is due for all students who have graduated from the ADR programme and is based on the calculation indicated in your Institute’s completed form “Annex B” as given in Appendix 9 (pages 15-16 – Annex B to the ATI ADR Agreement). At the end of the calendar year, there may be a need to reconcile any fee discrepancy due to difference in the number of students who have obtained a Certificate, any changes in the “Full Training Fee Charged to Students by ATI” made by your Institute in the course of the previous calendar year and the average annual exchange rate applicable for the conversion of the “IRU Academy Certificate Fee Per Student” in Swiss Francs. Your Institute must submit to the IRU Academy Secretariat a completed form “Annex B” as given in Appendix 9 (pages 15-16 – Annex B to the ATI ADR Agreement) for the purpose of reconciling any discrepancy with the IRU Academy calculations.

7. HOW TO UPDATE ACCREDITATION INFORMATION? The accreditation will remain valid until cancellation or termination of the IRU Academy ATI Agreement. Any update of information related to the training programme(s) delivered by the ATI under IRU Academy accreditation or by the IRU Academy will require renewal of Annex A that will need to complete, sign and return it to the IRU Academy secretariat. All Instructors from your ATI, including those of your branches, who deliver the IRU Academy ADR Programme shall undertake the IRU Academy ADR Instructor Tests and obtain a pass rate of minimum 80% to ensure high standards of training delivery of this programme. 8.
