A few of our frequently asked questions about this course
This course offers a practical, neuro-affirmative understanding of co-occurring autism and ADHD (AuDHD), grounded in lived experience, research, and real-world practice. You’ll learn why AuDHD is often missed, how it presents across the lifespan, and how to apply this insight confidently within your role.Designed for practitioners, the training provides evidence-informed tools, screening insights, and adjustment strategies you can use immediately.
You’ll develop a clear, practical understanding of AuDHD (co-occurring autism and ADHD), including how commonly it occurs, why it’s often missed, and where diagnostic disparities arise. The course explores how AuDHD presents across the lifespan, including masking, camouflaging, and internalised profiles.
You’ll learn to apply NICE autism and ADHD guidance within integrated assessment pathways, implement effective behavioural, environmental, and executive-function supports, and understand the role of medication planning in AuDHD presentations. The training also addresses burnout, trauma, sensory overload, and emotional dysregulation, enabling you to create person-centred, strengths-based support plans that translate directly into practice.

I learned so much from this training even in the first 10 minutes of starting, so I immediately felt like I was in good hands. I feel well-equipped to start assessing people for ADHD and I can't thank you enough for how easy the training was to follow and I'm so impressed by your knowledge. Thank you!
Lovely course, very interested in learning more.

Very insightful and informative course
Thoroughly enjoyed the training and gained so much from it.
Absolutely amazing course. Very detailed and thorough. The trainer was a great teacher, very patient and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend.
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 have provided feedback on google. The course is very professional and in depth. It should be enough for any mental health professional to get skilled to use DIVA and diagnose ADHD.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the course. It has been engaging and interactive which has suited my learning style.it is delivered well and very informative. The trainer is very knowledgeable and has enabled me to broaden my knowledge and take away information to read further.
Very insightful and comprehensive
The information about employment and how to use this knowledge in practice would have been helpful, clear outline of the pathway
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!
excellent course, The trainer was incredibly informative and I highly recommend taking this training to further professional development.
Michael demonstrated a high level of clinical competence and insight throughout his ADHD assessor training. He showed a strong understanding of DSM-5 and NICE guidance, excellent use of structured clinical interviews, and the ability to elicit clear developmental history and functional impairment. His assessments were thorough, well-reasoned, and defensible, with clear consideration of differential diagnoses and risk. Michael consistently worked at an advanced practitioner level and would be a strong asset to any ADHD diagnostic service
Excellent training, with opportunities to collaborate. I feel confident in the use of DIVA.
Very informative, supportive and really engaging

Informative
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
Amazing training, very engaging and very thorough.
I benefited from the course ,how to manage the ADHD treatment,Learned different types of anti ADHD medication both stimulant and no stimulant their side effect their interaction,their life span and how they act on brain neurotransmitters

VERY INFORMATIVE
The trainer trained us very well in the process and it was a good refresher
Really enjoyed the course very informative. It was worth it.
Brilliant, would like to have spent a little more time going through them a little slower. Maybe the course needs to b 2 days, more cases.
The trainer and Dr Kumar teaching program on management of ADHD has provided me with great insights and confidence in this subject area and this will help improve my clinical practice.
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.
really enjoyed the course
great course
it was very informative and engaging course
I enjoyed the clinical case scenarios
Excellent course. Gained more knowledge.
The course was a mixer of lectures and group work . The lecturer made it easier for me to understand the topic in detail . I will definitely refer the course to my friends and relatives
The course was very detailed . The tutor explained every stage of the way on how an assessor need to conduct the assessment and focus on the tool we used. The Tutor gave every one of us a chance to interact/participate in groups. I really liked the way the training was done. It was an eye opener in how to conduct an ADHD assessment. The Tutor was partiant and we would ask questions and he explained fully even after the training was over.
Very informative
excellent
The training was essential in enhencing the understanding of a comprensive approach to management of of ADHD.With the clinical assessment skills i acquired in the previous training, my management skills were augmented in both pharmacological and non pharmacological areas.The training methods were interactive and effective which enabled us to famiiarise with the pharmacokinetics and bioavalabilty of drugs used dring treatment.
Interesting and informative course which has increased my understanding of ADHD, DIVA assessment and diagnosis based on DSM-5 criteria and guidelines.
The course was incredibly informative and beneficial. The trainer was engaging, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer everyone’s questions thoroughly. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to deepen their understanding of ADHD, it's been an excellent learning experience.

Fantastic course
The course content was hugely informative and insightful. The latest evidence was provided. Thank you
A really good course. Goes over all the NICE guidelines as well as the DIVA. Many practical considerations involved in testing ADHD are covered in detail. Would recommend it.
I had a great experience in the course and have recommended a couple of friends for the course.
The course was exceptionally well-structured combining both theoretical knowledge and practical insights. It covered diagnostic tools , evidence-based interventions allowing me to deepen my understanding of ADHD’s complexities.
This was a clear, well-structured course that improved my understanding of adult ADHD assessment and differential diagnosis. The clinical examples and emphasis on functional impairment were particularly helpful.

Very informative and has made me feel much more confident in pursuing a career in the ADHD field.
Enjoyed and learned a lot about ADHD clients, assessment and diagnosis
I found the course useful, relevant and feel positive going forward
GREAT COURSE, VERY THOROUGH AND WELL DELIVERED
The ADHD training was informative and insightful. I appreciated the level of detail and the effort the facilitator put into explaining the concepts. However, I found that one day (eight hours) wasn’t quite enough to take in all the information because the topic is quite broad and detailed. I’m still in the process of going through the learning materials again to deepen my understanding and reinforce what I’ve learned. Overall, the session was valuable and gave me a good foundation, but I would have benefited from more time to digest and practice the concepts covered.
Both courses were very informative, interactive
Great!
Excellent training. The trainer very knowledgeable and lead the course well
Great and insightful training
excellent, informative, break out rooms were good,
This has been an incredibly informative experience, providing a comprehensive understanding of ADHD and its impact on a patient's life. It has enhanced my knowledge of the diagnostic process, especially in terms of using the DIVA tool. The mock assessment was particularly helpful, as it really brought everything into perspective and solidified the concepts in a practical, real-world context
GREAT COURSE VERY WELL STRUCTURED.
