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.

Educative and well facilitated. I feel confident in carrying out ADHD assessments & Diagnosing ADHD in adults.
A great course, its given me the motivation I needed to do a career jump into ADHD assessing and hopefully more
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.
