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.
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.
Great course, very informative and interesting
The course was very interesting and learned a lot
A complex, but enjoyable programme. This was more medical focussed on the diagnostic programme, which as a psychologist was less relevant to my day-to-day practice, but this was still very helpful.
Fabulous informative course
Really enjoyed the course and found it very informative and I feel I have a good understanding of ADHD

Great!
The trainer's session was really informative, made be more confident in assessing and diagnosis of ADHD - I'm particularly interested in Management as a pharmacist but as NICE outlines pharmacists need to be able to confirm any given diagnosis. It has given me a great base understanding. Looking forward to continue learning and the management course next week

The trainer’s course was highly informative and gave me a strong baseline understanding of how to assess patients with ADHD. He clarified misconceptions I had, particularly that ADHD is not just about hyperactivity but also involves inattention. I especially appreciated how he guided us through each section of the DIVA-5 criteria, making it easy to understand. Overall, it was an excellent session that I would highly recommend to others.

Michael demonstrated a high level of clinical competence and insight throughout his ADHD assessor training. He showed a strong understanding of DSM-5 and NICE guidance, excellent use of structured clinical interviews, and the ability to elicit clear developmental history and functional impairment. His assessments were thorough, well-reasoned, and defensible, with clear consideration of differential diagnoses and risk. Michael consistently worked at an advanced practitioner level and would be a strong asset to any ADHD diagnostic service
Thank you for a very informative course
Great session! I appreciate how practical and clear the deep dive was, especially how the DIVA tool connects childhood and adult ADHD.
I found the CPD training to be exceptionally clear, well-structured, and highly informative. The content was delivered in an engaging and accessible way, with excellent pacing throughout. The trainer’s delivery was particularly impressive, both insightful and impactful — making the learning experience extremely valuable.
I’m happy I attended this much needed course to support /learn how to assess ADHD
I attended the Diagnostic ADHD Course, and it exceeded my expectations. The instructor presented diagnostic concepts with clarity and compassion, balancing theoretical guidelines with practical application. I gained a solid understanding of assessment frameworks, common presentations across age groups, and how to translate findings into actionable support plans. This course is a valuable resource for students, professionals, and individuals seeking a nuanced, evidence-based understanding of ADHD.
Very informative course
I have provided feedback on google. The course is very professional and in depth. It should be enough for any mental health professional to get skilled to use DIVA and diagnose ADHD.

excellent course but would like to have seen an example of a non diagnosis or a co morbid one too even if these were additional resources to do in our own time
The course instructor was very knowledgeable. Overall the course was very high-quality however, I feel there could’ve been more time spent on the diva assessment and less in breakout rooms.

The trainer trained us very well in the process and it was a good refresher
The course was informative
A few of our frequently asked questions about this course
With the UK facing a growing ADHD diagnosis crisis, NHS waiting lists now average 2–3 years due to the high demand for assessments. By taking this course, you’ll not only gain specialist skills but also play a crucial role in alleviating this crisis. As a healthcare professional, you’ll be making a meaningful difference to individuals in urgent need of timely support and helping to address the ADHD backlog.
Since updates to the NG87 NICE guidelines, the guidance now states that ADHD diagnosis can be carried out by a “suitably qualified practitioner.” To be considered suitably qualified, practitioners must complete specific training that provides them with the knowledge and practical tools to deliver accurate diagnoses.
Our course offers an in-depth look into ADHD in adults, covering DSM-5 diagnostic criteria, the widely recognised DIVA assessment, and practical guidance from expert instructors. You’ll also gain insights into the evolution of ADHD understanding and explore best practices through real-world scenarios.
This course is open to all healthcare practitioners. Prices vary for consultant psychiatrists. As we are a training provider only, please be aware that we do not verify practitioner credentials, and each participant is responsible for securing their own professional indemnity after completing the course.
The course runs for a full 8-hour day via video link on Microsoft Teams. Participants are expected to engage fully in discussions, complete mock assessments, and participate in a final Q&A assessment to demonstrate their understanding.
Participants who complete the course receive a recognised CPD certification, which not only enhances professional credibility but can also be submitted to insurance providers as proof of ADHD diagnostic competence.
With demand for ADHD testing rising each year, private ADHD assessments have become a valuable income stream for qualified practitioners, with professionals able to charge up to £1,500 per assessment. This qualification offers flexibility, allowing you to incorporate assessments into existing work commitments.
