Informative and encouraging advocates for ADHD.
Great service enjoyed the session. Very interactive
Course was so informative
I thoroughly enjoyed the interactive course, it made a difference especially learning from a professional who's not just talking the talk but also has walked the walk. The group case study was most helpful. It's worth been worth it. I'd recommend it to everyone health, social care and educational practitioner.
Course content and delivery was excellent
The course was really enjoyable. Information was presented very clearly, there was enough time for questions and participant interactions. The tutor was very knowledgeable and it was paced well. Some guidance on gathering psychiatric and developmental history and non medication treatment recommendations and some direction with using the qualification in private practice would be beneficial but I haven't had chance to explore the network materials. The course could easily be spread across 2 days but I'm pleased to have qualified and look forward to using the network resources, many thanks.
A great Course well lead

This training is a life changer I can as well diagnose myself 👏
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!
This was a brilliant and informative course. Thank you
The course was well-structured, walking me through each stage of the diagnostic process in a way that felt empowering rather than clinical. The course was thoughtfully structured, with each step building insight, clarity, and confidence. I thoroughly enjoyed the course-Thank you!
I had a lot of knowledge about ADHD as a condition (both due to my personal experience as well as the clients I work with) but having that deep understanding of different management techniques and what to consider with medications is massively helpful. Thank you for teaching in a way that makes sense to me!
The training significantly improved my ability to understand ADHD and conduct structured ADHD assessments, interpret rating scale and communicate findings effectively to clients and families. The trainer - the course trainer is quite knowledgeable on the subject.
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.
Very good overview of the management of ADHD
I thoroughly enjoyed both the diagnostic course and the management course even though I am not a prescriber - still relevant and useful.
The ADHD assessment practitioner training was comprehensive, relevant to my professional development, and delivered in a very engaging way. The trainer created space for questions, making the learning experience interactive and practical. I left the training with greater confidence and valuable insights I can apply directly in my work.”
This training program has been truly transformative. The approach goes far beyond theory, providing practical, compassionate, and evidence-informed strategies that help individuals understand how ADHD presents in everyday life. What stood out most was the focus on strengths rather than deficits. Instead of trying to “fix” people, the training empowers individuals, professionals, and organisations to work with ADHD brains rather than against them. The tools shared were clear, actionable, and immediately applicable, whether supporting clients, employees, or students. The course also created a deeper understanding of neurodiversity while offering practical techniques to improve focus, productivity, communication, and wellbeing. It fostered a strong sense of empathy and inclusion, something greatly needed in workplaces and educational settings. I would highly recommend this training to anyone wanting to better understand ADHD and learn practical ways to support neurodivergent individuals to thrive.
I recently completed the ADHD training course with The trainer, and it has been a transformative experience. The course provided a comprehensive understanding of ADHD, including the challenges and strengths.

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.
