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.

The trainer trained us very well in the process and it was a good refresher
Course was informative and insightful.
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.
Really enjoyable session learning about titrating,pharmacology and pharmacokinetics. The trainer provided excellent information and overall great resources were provided. I have walked away happy and confident in being able to at least titrate doses and take into other factors into my overall prescribing decision.
Excellent course and highly recommended

The management course was excellent and has enhanced my knowledge and understanding of medication management, non pharmacological interventions and longer term management strategies that include monitoring, managing side effects and adjustment of treatment plans.
The course created a clear and structured framework for assessing ADHD in both Adults and Children. Focusing in the NICE guidelines criteria and the correct usage of diagnostic screening. How to assess clinically both from the client themselves and a third party.
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
I have learnt a lot of ADHD diagnostic and will be able to use it confidently.
Brilliant course

I had a lot of knowledge about ADHD as a condition (both due to my personal experience as well as the clients I work with) but having that deep understanding of different management techniques and what to consider with medications is massively helpful. Thank you for teaching in a way that makes sense to me!

I've gained valuable insights that have deepened my understanding of ADHD and feel well-equipped with practical knowledge from this program.
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.
Incredible course. From ADHD history to applicability and diagnostic criteria, the course was well explained, engaging, and an excellent resource for those seeking a great understanding of the condition.
The full day training with The trainer was informative, clear and engaging. The mix of teaching, group work, a quiz and a mock assessment made it practical and enjoyable. The trainer explained everything well and encouraged questions, making it a great learning experience.
