If you are a clinician thinking about moving into ADHD work, you have probably asked yourself a simple question: how do I actually get from finishing a course to working in an ADHD role? Learning how to become an ADHD assessor in the UK is about more than passing a module. Employers want to see the right training, practical experience, a strong CV and the confidence to talk about your commitment to the field.
At Global ADHD Network, we believe your training should be the start of a career pathway, not the end of a transaction. Many courses stop at the certificate. We keep supporting you after it, so you are not left to work out the next steps on your own.
Demand for ADHD assessment and treatment is high, and many clinicians are keen to move into this rewarding area. Yet a certificate on its own does not always open the door. When you start applying for ADHD assessor jobs, you may find that employers are looking for things a classroom cannot fully give you:
Many courses end on the day you receive your certificate. That leaves new ADHD clinicians to figure out the job market by themselves. As one of our delegates, Zak, a clinical pharmacist, put it:
“It's not just about doing a course and being left to figure everything out yourself afterwards.”

Global ADHD Network provides CPD-accredited ADHD and autism training for clinicians, recognised for the UK and Middle East. Our ADHD clinician training is built to give you strong clinical foundations, and then to help you turn those skills into a role.
You can feel confident in the quality of what you are learning:
But what really sets our approach apart is what happens after the training ends.
Our courses are designed to build on each other, so you can grow from ADHD assessment into management and then into autism assessment. The progression route is: Diagnosis, then Management, then ADI-R, then ADOS-2, then the Observership Academy.
This is where most delegates begin. It gives you the grounding you need to start working towards ADHD assessment roles, and it is often the first step for clinicians asking how to become an ADHD assessor in the UK.
Management builds on diagnosis and takes you through treatment. Delegates often take Diagnosis and Management together, so they can follow a patient journey from assessment to treatment.
For clinicians who want to expand into autism assessment, ADI-R training is the next step on the pathway.
ADOS-2 training builds on ADI-R and further develops your skills in autism assessment.
The Observership Academy gives you practical experience and a reference, two things many new clinicians find they are missing when they start applying for roles.
This is where Global ADHD Network differs from many courses. Our delegates tell us that the support after the training has been just as valuable as the training itself.
We help delegates with their CVs and give advice on what experience employers are looking for. Zak described how this helped him:
“The team helped me with my CV, gave me advice on what experience I needed and how to show my commitment when applying for roles, and even helped me prepare the day before my interview.”
Zak, Trustpilot, 12 September 2026
Interviews for ADHD assessor jobs can feel daunting, especially if you are moving from a different area of practice. We help you prepare, so you can walk in feeling ready to talk about your training, your experience and your commitment to ADHD care.
Starting a new ADHD role often brings practical questions that no course can fully anticipate. Our membership gives you somewhere to turn, whether you need help with report writing or guidance on applying for a CD prescribing PIN. Jake found this especially useful once he had started his role and the clinic expected him to know these things already.
Many clinicians find that a lack of practical experience is the biggest barrier to getting their first ADHD role. The Observership Academy helps close that gap.
“The Observership Academy was incredibly useful. Having that experience and the reference really helped me get my foot in the door with a clinic, and I managed to secure a role within around four months of completing my training.”
Jake, Trustpilot, 3 September 2026
The best evidence for our career pathway comes from the clinicians who have followed it. Here is what some of our delegates have shared on Trustpilot.
Jake completed the Diagnosis and Management course bundle, then joined Global ADHD Network as a member.
“A few months after completing the courses, I enrolled as a member of the Global ADHD Network. This allowed me to get some help with my CV and I started applying for ADHD roles.”
Jake, Trustpilot, 3 September 2026
He also praised our Programme Director, Vinod Kumar:
“A big shout out to Vinod Kumar as well, who was a great Programme Director and really helpful throughout.”
Jake, Trustpilot, 3 September 2026
Zak is a clinical pharmacist who completed our ADHD Assessment and Diagnosis training, followed by ADHD Management, and has since gone on to ADI-R training.
“The training gave me the confidence and skills to move away from my NHS role, work from home and build a career in an area I really enjoy”
Zak, Trustpilot, 12 September 2026
“I have been able to use my training to secure ADHD assessor roles and it has been rewarding ever since.”
John Omodara, Trustpilot, 3 August 2026
“I walked away with skills I could use straight away and even managed to land a job after completing it.”
Jose, Trustpilot, 24 September 2025
“I ended up in a new role shortly after finishing can't thank them enough.”
Jose Rad, Trustpilot, 27 September 2025
If you are ready to take your first steps, here is a simple checklist to follow:
Global ADHD Network can support you at every step on this list.
Start with accredited ADHD training, such as our ADHD Assessment and Diagnosis course, and consider adding ADHD Management. Employers also look for practical experience, a strong CV and confidence at interview. Global ADHD Network supports delegates with CV help, interview preparation and practical experience through the Observership Academy.
Practical experience can make a real difference when applying for roles. Our Observership Academy gives delegates practical experience and a reference. One delegate, Jake, told us it helped him get his foot in the door with a clinic.
Our support continues after the certificate. Delegates can get help with their CV, advice on what experience employers want and interview preparation. Global ADHD Network membership also gives you ongoing support with questions such as report writing and applying for a CD prescribing PIN.
Yes. Our training is CPD accredited and CME accredited jointly with the American Psychiatric Association (APA), the publishers of the DSM. It is recognised for the UK and Middle East.
Yes. Our progression route runs from ADHD Diagnosis to ADHD Management, then ADI-R and ADOS-2, followed by the Observership Academy for practical experience.
