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 Zoom. 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.
Management session even more enjoyable than diagnosis session! (Personal view: Number of cases done very adequate but wouldn't mind even more as like to do plenty of practical sessions based on real-life scenarios even as a takeaway homework to do on own to challenge & improve though process on titration & various management aspects)
Well enjoyed and informative
Very informative course, would recommend.
Extremely informative and enjoyed learning about the nice guidelines alongside the different medications individually. The case studies were extremely powerful.
This course provides comprehensive and detailed content on ADHD, presented in a clear and accessible manner. The instructor's delivery style makes complex concepts easy to understand and apply. I've gained valuable insights that have deepened my understanding of ADHD and feel well-equipped with practical knowledge from this program.
I really enjoyed the course. The pace was very good and The trainer is passionate about his subject and very knowledgeable. I feel ready to assess and diagnose clients with ADHD with confidence and I will make good use of the training materials provided. Thanks so much for an amazing training day.
I recently completed the ADHD pharmacological management course from ADHD LLC, and it was incredibly insightful and practical. A special thanks to The trainer for clearly explaining the different dose titration strategies — his approach made a complex topic easy to understand. The course has boosted my confidence in managing ADHD in adults and provided valuable tools for safe and effective prescribing. Highly recommended!
Enjoyed the day, learnt lots
Informative course, precise information, good interaction with participants, instructor very knowledgeable and excellent rapport with participants.

great course
Great Course
A complex, but enjoyable programme. This was more medical focussed on the diagnostic programme, which as a psychologist was less relevant to my day-to-day practice, but this was still very helpful.
A wonderful tutor, full of knowledge and information. I can’t wait to get started! Thank you so much ☺️
Highly informative, and clear, structured training on how to complete assessments using DIVA. Trainer encouraged interaction and delivered the content in an engaging, concise way. Slides could be larger as difficult to see on screen.

Fantastic course from start to finish. Will certainly recommend.

Excellent teaching
brilliant course, very informative
Very detailed and interesting course. I wish the break out rooms involved professionals from different work groups instead with different levels of experience. i.e. I was put with pharmacists and we all had the same level of experience.
I benefited so much from the two courses completed with Private ADHD. Both have been brilliant at equipping me with a robust and detailed knowledge base on the diagnostic criteria, process of assessment and qualifications to be able to assess ADHD (in addition to Autism and Dyslexia) within an MDT - and with detailed insight into medication and management of ADHD, essential to the services I provide as a Neuroaffirming Consultant and Mentor: pre and post diagnostic support to individuals of all ages, and to families and schools.
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.
I found the course to be highly informative and well-interacted. The content was clearly structured, up-to-date, and relevant to real-world practice.
Very informative.
Helpful course for the context of ADHD assessment and further insight into framework and assessment tool.
Brilliant course
Really good course, practical tips and increased my confidence in diagnosing ADHD
The trainer delivered a brilliant training session, very informative, clear and enjoyable . The mock assessment at the end was my favorite part - it really helped me to understand the flow and scoring. Great learning environment where you feel comfortable to raise any questions. I would highly recommend this training to all suitable professionals
Absoloute brilliant course, really enjoyed the structure and how interactive it was. The trainer was very accessible and ensured every question was left answered. He provided great additional support and overall I am very happy with this introduction into ADHD as a pharmacist. I'd definitely want to pursue further into ADHD.
excellent course
Great course
gret course
Great course structure
The trainer’s course was highly informative and gave me a strong baseline understanding of how to assess patients with ADHD. He clarified misconceptions I had, particularly that ADHD is not just about hyperactivity but also involves inattention. I especially appreciated how he guided us through each section of the DIVA-5 criteria, making it easy to understand. Overall, it was an excellent session that I would highly recommend to others.
Great course run well and gives a good understanding of the challenges that ADHD possesses and the impact of an early diagnosis. Good explanation of diagnostic criteria.

Wonderful training, exceptional trainer
Excellent tutor
I 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 informative. Thank you
Amazing session, I feel very confident on how to use the DIVA and my knowledge on ADHD has massively improved
Good ADHD clinical course
Training was clear, easy to understand and has motivated me to go into the ADHD field
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
The trainer demonstrated a genuine passion for supporting individuals who are neurodivergent, such as those with ADHD and autism. The DIVA Assessment and Diagnosis training was both informative and engaging, and I left feeling inspired to implement positive changes within my practice.
The course covered the scope of what I wanted to learn and much more, participation in the course inspired me to look into non medical prescribing. I would definitely recommend this diagnostic course to anyone interested in extending their ADHD knowledge base and I look forward to participating in the upcoming management course.
I found The trainer to be incredibly knowledgeable and patient with the training group. Very adaptive to different learning styles and inclusive. I feel capable now to offer an ADHD Diagnosis in my private clinic using the DIVA-5
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.
Thank you offering such a thorough training. The trainer was fantastic! It has really me to improved my knowledge about ADHD.
Really interesting and informative course, very well paced. Interactive parts could possibly be a little shorter.
I enjoyed the training today. I felt it was a good balance of learning information, breakout rooms, and practice of the tools. There were good resources suggested as well
Great session! I appreciate how practical and clear the deep dive was, especially how the DIVA tool connects childhood and adult ADHD.
very good, well delivered
Excellent course and highly recommended
Excellent session, particularly enjoyed the session after lunch where theory was put into practice.
