If you are searching for how to become an ADHD assessor, you need more than a presentation about ADHD. You need purposeful professional development, opportunities to ask questions and a clear understanding of how learning fits your existing role.
Global ADHD Network’s ADHD Diagnostic Course, the ADHD Specialist Certification™ brings these priorities together. Global ADHD Network sets the gold standard for international ADHD and autism training through interactive learning, multidisciplinary perspectives and an emphasis on practical participation.
For professionals exploring assessment careers in the UK, the US, Australia and beyond, the appeal is straightforward: learn actively, connect with colleagues and work towards assessed course certification. Training does not replace professional registration or local practice requirements.
More than 2,000 healthcare professionals have attended the course, and Global ADHD Network has over 1,500 testimonials and over 350 Trustpilot reviews with a 4.8 rating. Many delegates describe it as the gold standard course for becoming a certified ADHD assessor.
For prospective delegates, public feedback provides a useful opportunity to look beyond a course description. Read what people say about teaching, interaction and the learning experience, and consider how those priorities match your own goals.
Public, verified reviews come from nurses, psychiatrists, psychologists, psychotherapists, speech and language therapists and occupational therapists. That breadth of professional feedback brings the learning experience to life. Read the reviews and see the experiences for yourself.
The ADHD Specialist Certification™ is designed as a fully interactive, immersive experience. Delegates can ask questions throughout, discuss their learning and connect with other healthcare professionals rather than simply watch slides.
In breakout rooms, participants work together to build mind maps, develop useful resources and explore ideas with colleagues. The opportunity to explain a concept, listen to another perspective and revisit a question gives professional learning a collaborative purpose.
The approach is designed around research-backed learning principles, including active participation, practice and feedback.
ADHD history and theory provide context, but this is not a course intended only for general interest in the history of ADHD. Its focus is professional development for those considering an assessment career or contributing to an assessment team. The aim is engagement with learning, not death by PowerPoint.
Practical learning builds through the day towards mock assessment work. Delegates must pass a mock assessment at the end, alongside preparation through a mock exam and a final examination that must be passed to gain certification.
This structure gives delegates something concrete to work towards. It also distinguishes assessed course completion from simply attending an online session or receiving an attendance certificate.
Successful certification recognises the practical participation and assessed learning completed during the course.
Global ADHD Network’s faculty includes university professors and hand-picked expert presenters. The course is developed and taught through a multidisciplinary approach involving psychiatrists, consultant nurses and pharmacists alongside academic expertise.
This matters because delegates arrive with different professional backgrounds, responsibilities and questions. Learning from more than one discipline creates space to understand those differences without suggesting that every attendee has the same scope of practice.
The course covers both adults and children, bringing a lifespan perspective to professional learning and connecting colleagues working across different age groups and services.
Global ADHD Network’s diagnostic training is CPD accredited by the CPD Certification Service. The training is recognised for the UK and Middle East, with international relevance for delegates in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia.
For the US audience, the published course page states: “Jointly provided by Global ADHD Network and the American Psychiatric Association (APA). Approved for 7 Nursing contact hours and 7 Pharmacy CE contact hours.”
It also states: “The APA designates this live activity for a maximum of 7 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.”
Continuing education recognition supports a purposeful professional development pathway alongside specialist learning and participation.
Start with your existing professional qualifications and responsibilities, then identify the specialist education, supervised experience and employer requirements relevant to your intended role. Global ADHD Network’s ADHD Diagnostic Course can form part of that learning pathway.

Professionals interested in further learning about management can explore the separate ADHD Management Course. It offers a distinct development pathway beyond diagnostic training.
