Course Overview
ADHD affects focus, impulse control, and organisation in ways that can be completely misunderstood as laziness or defiance. This ADHD Awareness Course is a CPD-accredited online training programme that builds your understanding of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder across all age groups and equips you with practical, evidence-based strategies to support neurodivergent individuals at home, school, and work.
Designed for educators, support staff, parents, carers, health professionals, and anyone working with ADHD, this course explores causes, presentations, and management approaches aligned with NICE guidelines and UK neurodiversity frameworks. You’ll learn how to recognise ADHD traits, understand executive function challenges, apply inclusive teaching strategies, and support families effectively. Fully online and self-paced, you study at your own pace with 24/7 access.
Finish with a recognised CPD certificate that demonstrates your commitment to neurodiversity inclusion and professional development. You’ll have the practical knowledge to create supportive environments, reduce stigma, and promote empathy. This course transforms misunderstanding into informed, compassionate support that genuinely helps neurodivergent people thrive.
