This is an awareness course and does not train learners to diagnose ADHD.
Training a team? We can help.
Many care providers, NHS teams and employers use our eLearning to keep staff training current. A business account lets you buy courses in bulk, assign them to staff and track completion in one place. That gives you a clear record for audits and inspections.
Since 2008, Medipro has trained thousands of health and care professionals in the classroom and online. We can help you build a training plan that mixes eLearning with practical, tutor-led courses at our centres.
Teams may want to pair it with our Autism Awareness course.
Can this course help me diagnose ADHD?
No. Diagnosis is made by a qualified specialist, such as a psychiatrist or paediatrician. The course explains how assessment works so you can support someone through it.
Is ADHD covered by the Equality Act 2010?
It can be. ADHD may count as a disability under the Equality Act 2010 if it has a substantial and long-term effect on daily activities. Employers and schools may then need to make reasonable adjustments.
Who should take ADHD awareness training online?
Anyone who works with children or adults who have ADHD. That includes education, care, youth work and HR roles.
