very informative course. would highly recomend.
Very well presented by knowledgeable team.
This is my second course with The trainer and I have thoroughly enjoyed it.
Excellent course. Gained more knowledge.
I benefited so much from the two courses completed with Private ADHD. Both have been brilliant at equipping me with a robust and detailed knowledge base on the diagnostic criteria, process of assessment and qualifications to be able to assess ADHD (in addition to Autism and Dyslexia) within an MDT - and with detailed insight into medication and management of ADHD, essential to the services I provide as a Neuroaffirming Consultant and Mentor: pre and post diagnostic support to individuals of all ages, and to families and schools.
A great course, really detailed discussions on how to deliver DIVA-5 assessment and about ADHD.
Excellent course delivered professionally at an appropriate pace
Very enlightening and thorough course helping show real life examples and the need to improve clinicians awareness in the neurodiverse field
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.
More time spent on going through the DIVA would have been beneficial. Almost constant interruptions from course participants was problematic for how the day progressed - the facilitator was very calm with attempting to manage the group, however the constant questions/comments continued.
Great training , really enjoy it and very captivating and informative
I enjoyed the session. Informative and options to ask doubts in between.
Very insightful and detailed course. great interaction and presentation
excellent
I enjoyed the clinical case scenarios
Very informative
found the ADHD Assessor Course to be an incredibly valuable and well-structured training experience. It provided a comprehensive overview of ADHD assessment protocols, diagnostic criteria, and the practical skills required to conduct thorough and patient-centred evaluations. The content was evidence-based and clinically relevant, with a strong emphasis on both accuracy and empathy in the assessment process. The course facilitators were knowledgeable and approachable, offering real-world insights and support throughout. I now feel much more confident in my ability to contribute meaningfully to ADHD assessment pathways and support individuals in accessing timely and appropriate care. I would highly recommend this course to any healthcare professional looking to expand their expertise in ADHD assessment.
A great comprehensive and concise course that gives you confidence to prescribe in ADHD. The teaching is very clear and easy to understand.
The course was very insightful and trainer was patient, taking his time to answer all the questions from the students

Really enjoyed the information and what ADHD actually means. The presentation was awesome
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 have just completed the ADHD Management course and found it extremely valuable for both my clinical practice and professional development. The content was clear, evidence-based, and practical, covering both pharmacological and non-pharmacological strategies for supporting individuals with ADHD. I particularly appreciated the focus on NICE guidelines, case-based learning, and real-world application, which has enhanced my confidence in managing ADHD effectively. I would highly recommend this course to any healthcare professional looking to expand their knowledge and skills in this area.
Shannice guided me through the registration. And I don't regret taking the course. The trainer and Vinod did an excellent job training us and answering all our questions.

Absolutely interesting
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
The trainer delivered a brilliant training session, very informative, clear and enjoyable . The mock assessment at the end was my favorite part - it really helped me to understand the flow and scoring. Great learning environment where you feel comfortable to raise any questions.
