It is characterised by difficulties in maintaining attention, controlling impulses, and regulating hyperactivity.

ADHD is not simply a matter of being distracted or hyperactive; it's a complex condition that can significantly impact various aspects of an individual's life, including academic performance, work, relationships, and self-esteem.

Very informative and interesting to read
Very informative and interesting to read. Having it broken down into very manageable sections makes it easy to absorb your new found knowledge.

The course was very well structured and easy to navigate.
I have just completed the ADHD Diploma.
I found the course extremely interesting and informative, especially for parents with children who have ADHD or people who work with children with the condition. It has changed my perspective on the condition a lot. I have therefore recommended this course to others.
The course was very well structured and easy to navigate. The wording used was simple to understand yet effective. The test was multiple choice which I liked and you are able to access your certificate straight after successful completion of the test which I thought was great.
I will definitely be purchasing another course from New Skills Academy.

New Skills Academy have given me the confidence to achieve my goals
The course was the best thing I've done to date. As a single mum of three children, one of which has ADHD, I haven't had the time or motivation to further my education. I was never academic at school, but New Skills Academy have given me the confidence to achieve my goals.
The course can be done at your own pace, which is great for all. Each module can be printed off, making it easier. I was quite nervous about the final test but so pleased and proud I passed. I can now use my knowledge to support my son as well as use it to raise awareness of the condition.
I have recently become a volunteer for the National Autistic Society, this diploma has opened many doors of opportunity in the work place. I highly recommend this course for all parents with children that have ADHD but also families and teachers. I have already got my Branch manager and friend signed up to the course, and I'm spreading the word.

I really liked this course
Previously, I had a very small idea of this diagnosis. But when I started working with children with ADHD, I realised that I needed to learn more. That is why I decided to learn from this course.
I got a lot of knowledge and expanded my understanding of this diagnosis. I understood how to work with children who have this diagnosis. Based on this course, I developed a strategy of behaviour and understood how to respond in certain situations.
I understand how I can be more effective at work and how to help my students. I really liked this course. Thank you.
Antonina Lupashko – Kiev
The course is really informative, I could realize about my own situation, I would like to recommend to my daughter.It is a very important subject to study, and the way you administer this course and your methodology are amazing!!!! Julio Cesar Zotes Mansilla
A great course to learn about ADHD and the effects it poses on daily life and the future, I found it very insightful and easy to follow!! And definitely most importantly it was positive! Julie Harding
I really enjoyed taking part in this course i learnt so much from it It is a real eye opener and I’m so glad I completed the ADHD awareness course
Sasha Singh
Really enlightening especially the inattentiveness element which I was unaware of. This goes towards my cpd as a childminder and helps me better understand the children in my care who have it and help identify others. Tracey Smith
This Course has been invaluable. I work in a child based setting as well as having a ADHD child of my own. I feel when your child is diagnosed with any challenges as a parent you'r just expected to know and understand. The reality is you'r left in 'no mans land' with no clue where to go or who to ask. I would strongly recommend this course for all adults working with children and any parents who feel their child has ADHD or has been diagnosed. It really is very eye opening and will give you the tools you need to support any child of any age or adult with ADHD. Amy Owen-Drew
This course is easy to study in your own pace, easy to understand and with the videos and worksheets, you can learn easily and improve your skills with this students. Ana Cristina Jesus da Conceição Ohira

Absolutely loved this course it has helped me massively in the journey of launching my own life coaching business. Would highly recommend and will be doing other course to further develop my skills. Heidi Goodaire

Fantastic course! Well-presented and challenging with frequent assessments. I feel a serious sense of accomplishment having not studied for over 30 years! Videos that accompany each module are carefully thought out and informative. Am so impressed with this course, have now signed up for 3 other courses and recommending New Skills Academy to everyone!
Marva Hudson
The course was clearly set out with helpful end of week tests which built my knowledge. Being dyslexic I found the course was set out in an easy to understand way. I was able to pass the test on my first attempt. The downloaded pdf are a useful resource that you can keep forever. Looking forward to the next course
Ross Dunsten
I am a doctor. This course is well organized, covering all areas of CBT. The videos and practical tips are very helpful. All the modules are arranged with good explanations and examples. Also each module consists of quick test and assignment which enables you to gain knowledge. Finally I would like to thank the New Skills Academy team.
Dr. M. Arshad
I took up this course initially to help me with my own dog, but found that as I worked through the material I actually started thinking that this could be something that I could use to make a second income. From start to finish I found the course engaging and interesting. I am now doing another dog related course and am experiencing the same level of enjoyment. I would recommend New Skills Academy without hesitation.
Keith Smith
Yet another well laid out course. This is my 3rd course so far with New Skills Academy.
More than likely will be back for another one soon. This course was enjoyable to do, and I learnt a lot and passed first try. My certificate will be up on the wall soon.
Rob Coops
Excellent course, well explained and easy to understand. The course can be done at my own pace and is available on various devices. The layout of the course was excellent and the notes options is very good. The content is perfect and well structured, making it easy to understand and follow. I will definitely be taking more courses in the future.
Luis Costa
It was an eye opening course that was flexible and easy to access. I was able to complete it from the comfort of my own home whilst also having the tasks to complete which enabled me to check my knowledge. I know feel much more confident in my field of work and really enjoyed doing it.
Ellie Clarke
This course is a great way to brush up on my rusty excel skills, I recommend this course to anyone looking for something to do during lockdown, it's easy to use and talks you through each stage step by step. It has given me the confidence I need to further my career.
