Wonderful interactive course that I would recommend
Very well delivered 2 days. The trainer was so patient and treated everyone with respect despite repetitive questions. He would still take his to re-explain. He made any anxieties disappear within minutes of joining. I have recommend a few colleagues who are in the process of registration.

This course provided exactly what I needed to improve my confidence and assessing ADHD. The content was clear, comprehensive and clinically practical. It depend my understanding of diagnostic criteria, especially in adult presentations, and gave me confidence in structuring assessments and considering differential diagnoses. I'd highly recommend it to colleagues looking to improve their ADHD assessment skills in psychiatric settings

excellent course but would like to have seen an example of a non diagnosis or a co morbid one too even if these were additional resources to do in our own time
Thorough course
Fabulous course, intensive, informative and engaging. The trainer has a relaxed and simultaneously enthusiastic teaching style. Which made the course highly enjoyable. Good to be able to connect with other like minded professionals. I highly recommend this course to therapists wishing to expand and develop their ADHD assessment knowledge.
This has been informative.
Great course thank you. Really informative and interactive.
The training was very informative and The trainer had a huge amount of knowledge and explained everything very clearly. I feel like I have a great deal of knowledge for assessments now leaving the course

amazing course
The course was very useful and extremely good.
Really informative session , The trainer -knowledgeable speaker with relaxed teaching style, different learning methods offered, Vinod - helpful throughout the day, useful and helpful tips offered
Absoloute brilliant course, really enjoyed the structure and how interactive it was. The trainer was very accessible and ensured every question was left answered. He provided great additional support and overall I am very happy with this introduction into ADHD as a pharmacist. I'd definitely want to pursue further into ADHD.
It was a very organized learning
I have thoroughly enjoyed this course, it's comprehensive, a lot of information in one day but the structure of the course, the knowledge sharing, and course delivery was excellent. I look forward to being able to use this, for my own professional development, but, also, so that I can hopefully improve outcomes, and quality of life for others. Thank you.
Interested to joint the ADHD assessment team

Comprehensive ADHD assessment delivered.
Very informative and promotes up to date evidence on ADHD. The trainer seems very knowledgeable and polite. Slideshow was very small on my screen, couldn’t really see it and I don’t think it was my device.
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.
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 lessons were clear, engaging and easy to follow. I gained practical skills i can apply straight away and the instructors were supportive throughout.
A great day, its given me an appetite to devleop my knowledge for ADHD
The trainer’s course was highly informative and gave me a strong baseline understanding of how to assess patients with ADHD. He clarified misconceptions I had, particularly that ADHD is not just about hyperactivity but also involves inattention. I especially appreciated how he guided us through each section of the DIVA-5 criteria, making it easy to understand. Overall, it was an excellent session that I would highly recommend to others.
Very insightful and informative course

Review Pending
Amazing session, I feel very confident on how to use the DIVA and my knowledge on ADHD has massively improved
Very informative
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.
Great course. Would recommend and helped me understand the diagnostic process of ADHD.
Very good course structure and has given me a greater insight to ADHD and diagnostics
Training was clear, easy to understand and has motivated me to go into the ADHD field
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
Great and very informative
Lovely course, very interested in learning more.

I recently completed the ADHD training course with The trainer, and it has been a transformative experience. The course provided a comprehensive understanding of ADHD, including the challenges and strengths.
Great course. Loads of information. The trainer is brilliant and his experience is invaluable. I feel if the DIVA tool was used throughout the training from the get go it would of been more helpful. The actual use of it at the end was a bit rushed. Overall I feel the course is excellent.
Incredible course. Fantastic approach from The trainer and the team.
A really interesting and informative day. I look forward to putting this course to good practise and helping those struggling with undiagnosed ADHD. Thank you.
