In New Zealand you need to hold dangerous goods (D) endorsement on your licence in order to transport dangerous or hazardous goods by road.
This includes transporting things like fuel or hazardous chemicals.
The D endorsement expires every five years, and you must do a refresher assessment, and have it endorsed on your licence.
In order to attend the course you must hold a full NZ Driver Licence and be able to read, write and understand spoken English. Please note that there can be no interpreters on this course.

$350 (including GST) for a first time assessment.
