If you...
👉 have experience coaching others
👉 and/or are already certified as a coach or other relevant helping professional (e.g therapist)
👉 feel comfortable in a fast-paced, neuro-affirming learning environment
👉 want to be at the forefront of neuro-inclusive coaching practices & frameworks
Then we'd love to see you in the course!
After you enroll, you'll be asked to share a bit about your coaching background and experience. We'll review your submission and let you know if you've been accepted into the course — if not, you'll receive a full refund.

Coaches who want to harness their skills to confidently and effectively support people navigating ADHD and autism, using neuro-affirmative practices and frameworks.
We ask for some coaching experience and/or certification, along with a basic understanding of neurodiversity, to make sure you can fully engage with the advanced course content and fast-paced, neuro-affirming environment.
If you'd like your employer to help fund this, feel free to drop us a message on [email protected] for a free template you can use. A monthly payment plan option is also available. If you've certified as an ADHD Works Coach previously, drop us an email for a discount.
A complete library of lessons, worksheets, and session outlines to confidently coach AuDHD-ers, and 6 x 2 hour live training sessions (also recorded and uploaded). You'll also be featured on the ADHD Works' website and receive a licence to use your AuDHD Coach Certification in your own marketing materials, along with a certificate to demonstrate your expertise.
ADHD Works is a training provider member of both the Association for Coaching and CPD. We prioritise integrity, ethics, and high standards, ensuring that our frameworks support both coaches and the people they work with. Upon certification, you'll be featured on our coaching directory, which is an excellent way to connect with a wide range of clients, including those accessing services through organisations like Access to Work (ATW). This course is designed to equip you with the skills and credibility to work confidently in the AuDHD coaching space, backed by a commitment to excellence.
The course runs over 6 weeks, with weekly 2 hour group training sessions. These are held at specific times on Thursdays (9am or 12pm), and you will only need to attend one. They are also recorded in case you can’t make any. You can complete the online lessons at your own pace, with lifetime access to all course materials. At the end of the live training period, you’ll complete an assessment to demonstrate your skills. You'll receive feedback and be fully prepared to become a certified AuDHD coach. Afterward, you’ll receive your certificate and be featured on the ADHD Works website as a certified AuDHD Coach for 1 year.
Autism and ADHD have only been able to be diagnosed in the same person since 2013, but there's a 50-70% crossover in symptoms. Whilst neurodiversity is as natural as biodiversity, diagnostic criteria is man-made. This means that thousands of people have gone without the holistic support and understanding they need to work with their brains, instead of against them. ADHD Works has already trained over 400 coaches around the world on our Executive Functioning Coaching Framework with great success and impact - so this is a continuation!
No! However, if you have already trained with us, feel free to drop us an email for a discount on [email protected]. Whilst this course will follow a similar neuro-affirmative structure, prior experience specifically of ADHD is not necessarily. We recognise that there's lots of brilliant coaches with a range of squiggly backgrounds. We'll collaborate with you to understand whether this would be a good fit, so don't worry!
Our 'Become an ADHD Coach Course' follows our Executive Functioning Coaching Framework closely, teaching the foundational skills and techniques needed to empower ADHD-ers. Our AuDHD Coaching Course builds on these skills, and is designed for people who feel confident in their coaching abilities. The intersect of Autism and ADHD is very complex, and we'll untangle paradoxes which can be very challenging to coach on, such as PDA! This course also follows a framework and includes coaching exercises, but is building upon existing skills as opposed to teaching brand new ones.
