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.
very informative course. would highly recomend.
Informative
The course was an eye opener. Self assessed as well..this is a game changer .
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.
Great course, thorough detail on how to deliver DIVA-5 Assessment.

I would highly recommend this training to all suitable professionals

INFORMATIVE

I have attended the course which was led by The trainer, very informative and professional, had exercises in different rooms and shared so much knowledge and the facilitator (The trainer) was also involved making sure we understood the task expected.

amazing course thank you
Good course
Excellent course , very informative , I love the concept of collaborating with the Gobal ADHD network
Attending the ADHD Medication Management course has significantly enhanced my clinical confidence and prescribing competence when supporting individuals with ADHD. The course provided a comprehensive overview of pharmacological options, including stimulant and non-stimulant therapies, and offered practical strategies for monitoring treatment effectiveness and managing side effects. The evidence-based content, combined with real-world case discussions, has strengthened my ability to deliver safe, person-centred, and effective care. I would highly recommend this course to any healthcare professional involved in ADHD management."
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.
A fabulous course about ADHD diagnosis which was fabulous, interesting, informative. I have learnt so much and very happy after today, so looking forward to the ADHD medication and management course in November
very useful and detailed

Excellent course . Very informative and thorough. I will definitely recommend Global ADHD course to anyone.
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!

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
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.

amazing course
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!
Great course. Great blend of theory and practice. Highly recommend it.
This training is a life changer I can as well diagnose myself 👏
Very informative and highly recommended.
Good course
I found the break out rooms so early on to be too long and unstructured, people were saying a lot of things that I felt weren't entirely accurate or were misleading but there was no one to correct or help structure these discussions. I feel it would have been better to have more of the structured information at the beginning and then break out rooms and discussions towards the end to maybe do some practice scoring together.
Very informative and promotes up to date evidence on ADHD. The trainer seems very knowledgeable and polite. Slideshow was very small on my screen, couldn’t really see it and I don’t think it was my device.
I enjoyed the course. It was an eye-opener, well-presented, easy to follow and engaging.
Very informative and relevant.
This course has significantly improved my knowledge and understanding of diagnostic criteria. Highly recommend to anyone in ADHD care.
