ADHD Works

In short, our ADHD course covers the Executive Functioning framework and fundamentals of coaching, such as intro calls and packages. This one teaches the AuDHD Paradox Coaching Framework, with a deeper focus on the neuroscience behind ADHD and autism, rather than the foundations of neuroaffirmative coaching. Our coaching frameworks are a series of specifically designed, tried-and-tested exercises and education as a container for your practice.

Yes - we offer a variety of scholarships on every live training course that we do. You can apply on www.adhdworks.info.

Yes - and many do. Training a member of your HR, wellbeing, or L&D team to deliver ADHD/AuDHD coaching internally is often a more sustainable investment than commissioning external coaches for every neurodivergent employee. It also builds permanent in-house capability for reasonable adjustments. Past organisational funders include the NHS, the Law Society of Scotland, and the DWP. We have free email templates to help with requesting this on www.adhdworks.info.

Lifetime access to 51.5 hours of CPD-certified training, including 94 lessons, 6 × 2-hour live sessions, and a complete coaching framework (the AuDHD Paradox Coaching Framework™). You'll also get a 3-month preloaded Coach Accountable trial so you can easily apply our resources in practice straight away, your AuDHD Coach Certification with a licence to use it in your marketing, and eligibility to join our ADHD Works coaching directory.

ADHD Works is a training provider member of both the Association for Coaching and CPD. We also train coaches on our Ethical Compliance Framework for ADHD and AuDHD coaches - we take the responsibility of working with vulnerable people extremely seriously and expect our coaches to do the same. We've coached thousands of neurodivergent people, and have built our trainings carefully to incorporate the foundations of safety, especially when practicing in a neuroaffirmative way within neurotypical environments.

The live training period of the course runs over 6 weeks, with weekly releases of lessons (3-4 hrs) alongside live training sessions to 'do what you know'. These are recorded and uploaded incase you can't make any live. At the end of this period, you'll complete a short video assessment to demonstrate your skills and receive personalised feedback, along with your certification.

No - and that's a deliberate choice. ICF training centres on a 'pure coaching' model, whereas we train coaches to use frameworks as optional menus, with specific AuDHD exercises and psychoeducation that they can use for sessions. We don't mandate SMART goals or being a blank canvas, and believe the best learning happens by doing. Our CPD certification gives us the freedom to teach in this way, whilst ensuring institutional recognition from organisations and independent quality oversight.

This course is signed off at 51.5 hours of Continuing Professional Development. The exact hours you can claim may vary depending on how your organisation attributes CPD and whether you put in additional practice or self-directed study alongside the course.

The course is built around practical application of strategies and skills - not just theory - so by the end you're ready to actually coach AuDHD clients, not just talk about them. Throughout the course, you will provide and receive AuDHD coaching on the framework yourself. We have global communities of students who use this certification in different ways - from within their own coaching or therapy business, to supporting colleagues within their workplace, setting up lessons in schools, supporting their own children, or simply to help themselves.
