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.

Really informative course. Lots of information and resources. Very engaging.
The course was very insightful and trainer was patient, taking his time to answer all the questions from the students

Truly grateful for this course. It has been extremely beneficial and informative. I had concerns that it would be treated like a check box exercise but The trainer demonstrated so much time, care and passion. I am currently working within a prison setting, where I will be conducting my DIVA-5 assessments but I will certainly be looking for a full time role in ADHD assessing.

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.

very informative, productive, interactive
Very useful enjoyable course
The admin leading up to the day was not ideal for me. I had to ask repeatedly to be sent links for the day before they arrived. The day itself was very professional and informative. I enjoyed The trainer's professional approach and insight. The breaks were interestingly timed. It seemed longer and heavier in the afternoon, which possibly needs a rethink for ADHDer and it did go on a long time. But that said I am pleased I attended as I can now diagnose for ADHD and be part of the solution!
The course has been an incredibly valuable resource. The content was clear, well structured and practical., offering both the theoretical understanding and the hands on tools needed to assess ADHD
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)
I thoroughly enjoyed the course and found it to be very informative.
Fantastic course
Thoroughly enjoyed the course. Thank you

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.
