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.

ADHD ASSESSMENT
very professionally delivered
I found the trainer and the training very informative. I know more about the symptom and diagnosis of ADHD after attending the training. I will recommend the training, well presented
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.
The information about employment and how to use this knowledge in practice would have been helpful, clear outline of the pathway
Very helpful introduction to the DIVA, breakout groups felt less useful
The course has given me a strong foundation in adult ADHD assessment. I still have more to learn but it's been a valuable starting point
Amazing! Very enjoyable and informative. Thank you so much for the training sessions and my interest in pursing my career in adhd has grown immensely and will definitely go for it :)
Great course detailing pharmacological options for ADHD
Great course. Great blend of theory and practice. Highly recommend it.
Both courses were very informative, interactive
Great course. Loads of information. The trainer is brilliant and his experience is invaluable. I feel if the DIVA tool was used throughout the training from the get go it would of been more helpful. The actual use of it at the end was a bit rushed. Overall I feel the course is excellent.
Very detailed, The trainer's delivery was excellent.
The course was very insightful and trainer was patient, taking his time to answer all the questions from the students
The ADHD assessment course from privateadhd.com was incredibly informative and well-structured. It gave me practical tools and a clear framework to confidently assess and support adults with ADHD. Highly recommended for any healthcare professional working in this area
very informative course. would highly recomend.
Enriching CPD Course
I currently work as an Advanced Nurse Practioner (prescriber) in Primary Care with a significant mental health case load. I have a specific interest in ADHD and found the course to be very informative, I have completed both the assessment and medication management course, both were excellent in terms of delivery and information.
Helpful course for the context of ADHD assessment and further insight into framework and assessment tool.
Thoroughly enjoyed the course. Thank you
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?
Excellent summary course - feel really confident in using the tool and enjoyed the day.
Perfect
Very informative. Thank you
very good, well delivered
Great course, loved the practice DIVA assessment section, it definitely improved my confidence. The trainer was very helpful and informative as well as keeping the course engaging. Looking forward to the course on treatment if 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.
The course created a clear and structured framework for assessing ADHD in both Adults and Children. Focusing in the NICE guidelines criteria and the correct usage of diagnostic screening. How to assess clinically both from the client themselves and a third party.
Content was excellent, brilliantly facilitated by The trainer
Amazing session, I feel very confident on how to use the DIVA and my knowledge on ADHD has massively improved
very detailed and learnt a great deaol
Great course, an abundance of information for education.

amazing course
Fabulous course, intensive, informative and engaging. The trainer has a relaxed and simultaneously enthusiastic teaching style. Which made the course highly enjoyable. Good to be able to connect with other like minded professionals. I highly recommend this course to therapists wishing to expand and develop their ADHD assessment knowledge.
Excellent course and highly recommended
The course was very well organised, The trainer was very knowledgable and I really enjoyed this course, would definitely recommend to others.
Very informative course, clearly delivered and very accessible.
I really enjoyed the course and ready to apply in my career
Course was so informative
Very informative course. The trainer is very knowledgeable and delivers in an easy to follow way.
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 admin leading up to the day was not ideal for me. I had to ask repeatedly to be sent links for the day before they arrived. The day itself was very professional and informative. I enjoyed The trainer's professional approach and insight. The breaks were interestingly timed. It seemed longer and heavier in the afternoon, which possibly needs a rethink for ADHDer and it did go on a long time. But that said I am pleased I attended as I can now diagnose for ADHD and be part of the solution!
A great day, its given me an appetite to devleop my knowledge for ADHD
Excellent course, informative, very knowledgeable trainer. Thank you
Very good presentation from The trainer
Found the course very empowering.
Educational and Interactive session
The course was very informative, loved the break out rooms and meeting other professionals. I would highly recommend it to others
Excellent training, with opportunities to collaborate. I feel confident in the use of DIVA.
fantastic course both the diagnostics and management. Would highly recommend.
Brilliant course
very good course. The trainer is well spoken and very knowledgeable about the topics, allows conversations, breaks, discussions and explains answers
Course was very interactive and very educative.
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!
I really enjoyed the course and learned a lot about ADHD.I hope to apply it in my career
The course has been very insightful in deepening my understanding about ADHD. I am confident about diagnosis of ADHD, overlapping symptoms with other mental health conditions.
I completed the ADHD Management Course with The trainer, and found it to be incredibly valuable. The course provided a thorough overview of both behavioral modifications and pharmacological treatment options, offering a balanced and holistic approach to managing ADHD. The trainer’s engaging and informative style made complex concepts accessible and practical. I have enrolled for the ADHD Diagnosis course to deepen my understanding further. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enhance their ADHD management strategies.
Very infomative course
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
Very interesting, informative and engaging course.
Good course
great course, interactive and highly recommended

Great course
The trainer was excellent and made the course so interesting. We also had an opportunity to work through an assessment. I would recommend this to all professionals especially those in mental health services.
Excellent session, particularly enjoyed the session after lunch where theory was put into practice.
amazing session overall.
Very informative course. I did find the section on pharmacodynamics difficult to grasp and there was a lot of information about the actual medications for me to take in in the afternoon in such a short space of time. I started lagging toward the end. It would be useful if you could provide a chart that contains all the meds including what line, dose, side effects etc. Thank you
very informative course gives you all the background tools and knowledge required going forward to diagnosing and managing
Very good course
Great course, insightful. Able to put information into practice.
Great Speaker ( The trainer) , very knowledgeable and informative. Session was interactive.
