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.

Great course, very detailed and inspiring
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.
Incredibly interesting and informative. Clear instructions on how to interpret and provide ADHD diagnoses and examples of this. I feel that I have a much clearer understanding to work with clients moving forward
excellent
The course was an eye opener into the depth of the condition and how minimal support is being offered to people. After this course I feel I am more comfortable to diagnose new patients and renew performance of medication.
