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.

Attending the ADHD Management online course has been an incredibly informative and enriching experience. The course offered a comprehensive overview of ADHD, particularly focusing on the various types of medication used in its treatment. I gained a solid understanding of both stimulant and non-stimulant medications, how they work in the brain to manage symptoms, and the common side effects associated with each. What truly brought the learning to life were the real-world video testimonies from clients. Hearing first-hand accounts from individuals and families living with ADHD added a depth of insight that theory alone could not provide. One of the most valuable aspects of the course was the opportunity to complete a mock exam at the end. Passing this confirmed that I had not only absorbed the knowledge but could also apply it confidently. Overall, I now feel much more confident in exploring opportunities within the ADHD field. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to deepen their understanding of ADHD.
