The trainer delivered an outstanding presentation,clear, engaging, and clinically relevant. The course was exceptionally well-structured, with a logical flow and practical, evidence-based content throughout. His expertise and passion were evident, making the learning experience both informative and inspiring. I would highly recommend this course to any clinician seeking to enhance their ADHD practice.
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.
Fantastic course, thoroughly enjoyed it. Comprehensively covers diagnosis and management. The trainer is a great course lead, delivers information in a structured, informative yet engaging way. Makes through material easy to digest. Good balance of content and active participation. Highly recommend.

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.

A few frequently asked questions about our training courses.
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 these courses, 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 courses offer 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.
These courses are 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 ADHD Assessor and Management courses run for a full 8-hour day via video link. The ADI-R and ADOS-2 certifications run as two-day intensives. Participants engage fully in discussions, complete mock assessments, and take a final Q&A assessment to demonstrate their understanding.
Participants who complete a course receive a recognised CPD certification, which not only enhances professional credibility but can also be submitted to insurance providers as proof of competence.
