Course specification
How it works

- Your trainer calls beforehand to confirm logistics, and to understand your service and the people you support.
- Three hours, with a short break, working through case studies.
- Certificates are emailed the next day.

Who needs this training
Staff supporting children, young people or adults who have, or may have, ADHD:
- Residential children's homes and children's services
- Teachers, teaching assistants and SEN staff
- Adult social care, supported living and learning disability services
- Mental health and healthcare teams
- Foster care and family support services
We recommend at least Level 1 literacy and numeracy.
What the law says
ADHD can count as a disability under the Equality Act 2010 in Great Britain, so schools, services and employers may need to make reasonable adjustments. In England, the SEND Code of Practice expects schools and settings to identify and support children with special educational needs — which can include ADHD — and both Ofsted and CQC look at whether staff understand the needs of the people they support.
ADHD often sits alongside autism. Registered health and care providers in England must also train staff in learning disability and autism; this course complements that training rather than replacing it.
How we assess learning
Learning is checked throughout the session, through case studies, questions and discussion.
Your trainer
Your trainer has used these skills for real, and runs the session as a discussion, using case studies — so staff can talk through the people they actually support.
Logistics
- Room: seating for up to 12, classroom style, with a projector screen or blank wall
- The trainer brings: projector, laptop, flipchart and all general training equipment
- Group size: up to 12 per session, on-site or live online
- Timing: morning 09:30–12:30 or afternoon 13:30–16:30; staff arrive 15 minutes early
- Access: the trainer needs the room 45 minutes before the start
- Anywhere in the UK, or live online
- Live online: a quiet space and a device with camera and audio for each person joining — ideally one device each, and never more than two people per device
- More dates online: live online often has more dates available, so it's worth asking if you need training sooner or have people across several locations
- Literacy: we recommend at least Level 1 literacy and numeracy
Cost explained
£495+VAT for the day. It's a day rate: one trainer, one day, the same price for one half-day session or two. Run two sessions, morning and afternoon, and train up to 24 staff while the rest of the team covers the floor.
More than 24 to train? Book another day at the same flat rate. Several sites? Book each site through our booking site at no extra cost, or we'll arrange them for a £100+VAT admin fee.
Frequently asked questions
Is it about children or adults?
Both. It covers ADHD in children, young people and adults — how it develops, how it's assessed and diagnosed, and how to support it day to day. Tell us who you support when you book, and your trainer will focus on them.
Does it cover autism too?
It covers how ADHD and autism overlap and present together, since many people have both.
Is this the Oliver McGowan training?
No. That's a separate standardised programme on learning disability and autism.
Can it be done online?
Yes, live with a trainer, for up to 12 staff per session. It's discussion-based, so it works well online.
Why not e-learning?
E-learning gives everyone the same slides. Here, a trainer works through case studies with your team and answers questions about the people they actually support. For a full group of 12 it works out at around £41 a head.
How long does the certificate last?
It doesn't expire, but we recommend a refresher every three years.
Can we train more than 12?
Yes. Run two sessions on the same day for the same £495+VAT — up to 24 staff.
How quickly can you come?
We confirm bookings within 48 hours, and we recommend booking at least four weeks in advance to secure your preferred date. If you need something sooner, just ask.
