The Dangerous Goods (D Endorsement) Course in New Zealand is designed for drivers who need legal authorisation to transport hazardous or dangerous goods by road. This endorsement is mandatory under NZTA (Waka Kotahi) regulations for anyone carrying dangerous substances such as flammable liquids, gases, corrosives, or toxic materials.
At Pro Drive, we provide structured and compliant D Endorsement training to help drivers understand safety responsibilities, legal requirements, and correct handling procedures when transporting dangerous goods.
A D Endorsement allows a driver to:

This endorsement focuses on safety, risk awareness, and emergency response.
