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.
