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.
I had a great experience in the course and have recommended a couple of friends for the course.

Great Course
Very good training and insightful
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.
Informative and helpful training
Very useful enjoyable course
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.
Informative course, enjoyed the interactive parts very much. You can tell that The trainer is very well informed with regards to ADHD.
Content was excellent, brilliantly facilitated by The trainer
The trainer was great at relaying information and answering all questions. Lots of information provided.

The DIVA Diagnosis Course with The trainer was an excellent, informative day. Id recommend it for anyone looking to deepen their understanding and diagnosing ADHD. It provides a comprehensive overview of the diagnostic process, including clear guidance on administration and scoring. The course does an outstanding job of breaking down complex concepts and highlighting the real-life impact ADHD has on individuals across various contexts. Whether you're a clinician, educator, or simply someone seeking more knowledge, this course offers practical insights and a strong foundation for understanding and supporting those with ADHD.

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.
Really informative session , The trainer -knowledgeable speaker with relaxed teaching style, different learning methods offered, Vinod - helpful throughout the day, useful and helpful tips offered
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.
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.
Great course. Doctor was explained well and taught very well
Very useful course! Very welcoming for those of us that do not prescribe medication as well which was really lovely! I would like to know more pathways about potentially increasing skills to be able to go into ADHD coaching as this sounds very interesting also!
A fully comprehensive course, well -paced, and interactive. Has left me feeling confident to go ahead and complete ADHD assessments in NHS and private settings.
Interesting course, good introduction to ADHD, well structured and delivered.
