Brilliant, loved it! thank you so much, it has really ignited my passion as a clinician.
A great course, its given me the motivation I needed to do a career jump into ADHD assessing and hopefully more
Really enjoyed the course and found it very informative and I feel I have a good understanding of ADHD
Incredible course. From ADHD history to applicability and diagnostic criteria, the course was well explained, engaging, and an excellent resource for those seeking a great understanding of the condition.
Session was great, insightful and inspiring. Well delivered by The trainer.
The training was very informative and The trainer had a huge amount of knowledge and explained everything very clearly. I feel like I have a great deal of knowledge for assessments now leaving the course
Very thorough training, excellent to understand nuances in high functioning profiles and masking. Brilliant delivery and overall organisation. Thank you The trainer and team.
A very insightful course. Detailed and well presented. Doing the management course over 2 days might be more helpful as there is a lot to take in, in one day.
I had a great experience in the course and have recommended a couple of friends for the course.
Great first day, looking forward to tomorrow's session. I did feel that the break-out room time may be bit lengthy. Felt like getting back into bigger groups and hearing The trainer's experience was more beneficial. Or prehaps, switching up the groups?
very educative course
Beneficial and insightful training
This has been an incredibly informative experience, providing a comprehensive understanding of ADHD and its impact on a patient's life. It has enhanced my knowledge of the diagnostic process, especially in terms of using the DIVA tool. The mock assessment was particularly helpful, as it really brought everything into perspective and solidified the concepts in a practical, real-world context
Amazing session, I feel very confident on how to use the DIVA and my knowledge on ADHD has massively improved
Really enjoyed the training. Was super helpful and well delivered.
Truly grateful for this course. It has been extremely beneficial and informative. I had concerns that it would be treated like a check box exercise but The trainer demonstrated so much time, care and passion. I am currently working within a prison setting, where I will be conducting my DIVA-5 assessments but I will certainly be looking for a full time role in ADHD assessing.
Very well taught
I AM VERY HAPPY I DID MY TRAINING WITH PRIVATE ADHD, I WILL DEFINATELY RECOMMEND THE COURSE TO MY FRIENDS
The course was an eye opener. Self assessed as well..this is a game changer .
The training was essential in enhencing the understanding of a comprensive approach to management of of ADHD.With the clinical assessment skills i acquired in the previous training, my management skills were augmented in both pharmacological and non pharmacological areas.The training methods were interactive and effective which enabled us to famiiarise with the pharmacokinetics and bioavalabilty of drugs used dring treatment.
This has been a very enjoyable course so far! I have been engaged throughout which is very rare and the content is essential for my clinical practice. Would highly recommend!
A great comprehensive and concise course that gives you confidence to prescribe in ADHD. The teaching is very clear and easy to understand.
Absoloute brilliant course, really enjoyed the structure and how interactive it was. The trainer was very accessible and ensured every question was left answered. He provided great additional support and overall I am very happy with this introduction into ADHD as a pharmacist. I'd definitely want to pursue further into ADHD.

The ADHD Adult Diagnostic Assessment (DIVA-5) was conducted in a highly professional and structured manner. The process was comprehensive, evidence-based, and enabled a clear understanding of the individual’s developmental history and current presentation. The assessment training provided a balanced exploration of both NICE and DSM offering valuable clinical insights. Overall, it was a thorough and supportive experience that fostered clarity, validation, and informed planning for appropriate next steps.
great course
The course was exceptionally well-structured, combining both theoretical knowledge and practical insights. It covered both diagnostic tools, and evidence-based interventions and has given me a good understanding of how to diagnose ADHD and how it presents in adults and children.
All the sessions are well presented and very useful
Very detailed. I will recommend this to my other colleagues
A very well organised course. The trainer made is very easy to understand and the DIVA exercise was good to understand the diagnostic criteria.

found the ADHD Assessor Course to be an incredibly valuable and well-structured training experience. It provided a comprehensive overview of ADHD assessment protocols, diagnostic criteria, and the practical skills required to conduct thorough and patient-centred evaluations. The content was evidence-based and clinically relevant, with a strong emphasis on both accuracy and empathy in the assessment process. The course facilitators were knowledgeable and approachable, offering real-world insights and support throughout. I now feel much more confident in my ability to contribute meaningfully to ADHD assessment pathways and support individuals in accessing timely and appropriate care. I would highly recommend this course to any healthcare professional looking to expand their expertise in ADHD assessment.
Amazing training, engaging and thorough

The management course was excellent and has enhanced my knowledge and understanding of medication management, non pharmacological interventions and longer term management strategies that include monitoring, managing side effects and adjustment of treatment plans.
The course was a mixer of lectures and group work . The lecturer made it easier for me to understand the topic in detail . I will definitely refer the course to my friends and relatives
Thanks to The trainer and a brilliant delivery
Great course
Thoroughly enjoyed the course and will be a good start to assessing ADHD
Excellent summary course - feel really confident in using the tool and enjoyed the day.
More time spent on going through the DIVA would have been beneficial. Almost constant interruptions from course participants was problematic for how the day progressed - the facilitator was very calm with attempting to manage the group, however the constant questions/comments continued.
I enjoyed the training! The content was incredibly thorough and up-to-date. It covered everything from the latest diagnostic criteria to the best assessment tools and methods. The videos and reading materials were clear, engaging, and easy to follow. The interactive elements and the patient interview video near the end of the training were particularly helpful in applying theoretical knowledge to real assessment scenarios.
very interactive session.
I have learnt a lot of ADHD diagnostic and will be able to use it confidently.
Brilliant, would like to have spent a little more time going through them a little slower. Maybe the course needs to b 2 days, more cases.
My 22 year old son was recently screened for ADHD so my personal experience of this neurological disorder has been very enlightening. In my clinical practice, I also have been assessing and treatment more and more people with ADHD and ASD. The traineri delivered the course well, good pace and breakout rooms were helpful.
The training was clear . I gained new skills
Excellent training, with opportunities to collaborate. I feel confident in the use of DIVA.
I found this course very useful in extending my knowledge, and hopefully helping towards me becoming an ADHD assessor
The trainer conducted a comprehensive and engaging DIVA training session, significantly deepening my understanding of ADHD through interactive discussions with fellow mental health professionals.
The trainer was great at relaying information and answering all questions. Lots of information provided.
Very informative and gave me a very understanding re: assessment and diagnosis of ADHD
Fantastic course. I am thoroughly confident that it has given me the knowledge and skills required to perform diagnostic assessments for ADHD. The trainer exceptionally delivered the course content along with his own inside insights to ADHD. I would love to collaborate with him regarding setting up transitional services for neurodivergent clients moving from child to adult services given the huge gap there and my paediatric nursing experience. Please get in touch!
great session
The Course was very informative throughout and the information given was beneficial to the end mock assessments and exam. I enjoyed it greatly.
