You just do the learning between business. If you think about it with concentration from time to time, or repeat the rows in your head or recite them to yourself, you are actually already engaged in the learning process.<br>If you have more time, writing down the ADR classes is also a good method, or creating the exercises from the training.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container \" data-type=\"core\/heading\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-12 col-lg-10 col-xl-8\"> \n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Having trouble learning?<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container \" data-type=\"core\/paragraph\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-12 col-lg-10 col-xl-8\"> \n<p>It&#8217;s not fun to find that you have trouble remembering the hazard classes. Learning it may start to bother you and you may think &#8220;I won&#8217;t get it in anyway. Yet the results usually do not depend on your ability to learn, but much more on your perseverance!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container \" data-type=\"core\/heading\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-12 col-lg-10 col-xl-8\"> \n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don&#8217;t give up or procrastinate<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container \" data-type=\"core\/paragraph\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-12 col-lg-10 col-xl-8\"> \n<p>Giving up or procrastinating is therefore the worst remedy. Anyone can learn it, but without effort or concentration, it often won&#8217;t work. If you put off learning the classes, you are actually running behind each time. Since the knowledge of hazard classes is the common thread in all the topics of the course, without this knowledge you miss a large part of the course. You will definitely notice this in the exam results as well.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container \" data-type=\"core\/heading\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-12 col-lg-10 col-xl-8\"> \n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A good start&#8230;<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container \" data-type=\"core\/paragraph\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-12 col-lg-10 col-xl-8\"> \n<p>To follow the ADR course properly, you actually need to know the numbers and names of the hazard classes before you start the course!

Probably not yet. Learning the hazard classes consists mainly of repeating the rows over and over again. You will find that some classes &#8220;stick&#8221; better than others. This means learning less and less and concentrating only on the classes that you find difficult to remember or that you keep &#8220;mixing up.
