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.
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 6-hours 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 & Autism assessments have become a valuable income stream for qualified practitioners, with professionals able to charge up to £1,500 per assessment.
It was good. Would be good to know if someone comes (adult), what documents/ forms/ letters needs to be filled to diagnose them with ADHD, along with the DIVA.

I completed the ADHD Management Course with The trainer, and found it to be incredibly valuable. The course provided a thorough overview of both behavioral modifications and pharmacological treatment options, offering a balanced and holistic approach to managing ADHD. The trainer’s engaging and informative style made complex concepts accessible and practical. I have enrolled for the ADHD Diagnosis course to deepen my understanding further. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enhance their ADHD management strategies.

Excellent course!! really engaging . very informative .
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.
Great course. Would recommend and helped me understand the diagnostic process of ADHD.
This was a brilliant and informative course. Thank you
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)
15/16
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.
amazing session overall.
Good ADHD clinical course
Great course - thank you.
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.
amazing course thank you
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
Great course, very detailed and inspiring
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
well structured and managed course
The course has given me a strong foundation in adult ADHD assessment. I still have more to learn but it's been a valuable starting point
Great interactive session with the Doctor thank-you

I enjoyed the training! The content was incredibly thorough and up-to-date. It covered everything from the latest diagnostic criteria to the best assessment tools and methods. The videos and reading materials were clear, engaging, and easy to follow. The interactive elements and the patient interview video near the end of the training were particularly helpful in applying theoretical knowledge to real assessment scenarios.
Very well presented by knowledgeable team.
Great insight into the prevalence of ADHD I now have a greater understanding in this area
The courses were well Structured relevant and educational. Good mix of teaching and break up workshop
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.
Very well presented, thoroughly enjoyed the course and found it very informative and helpful - Please NB CV will be sent on Tuesday 17/06/25
