Nothing to pay now. We ask for a £50 returnable deposit only if we offer you a place, and return it to you automatically when you complete the course.
If you can't afford the deposit, we cover it. Just say so on the application form. It does not affect your application.
Group leaders need a criminal record check: an Enhanced DBS check in England and Wales, PVG in Scotland, AccessNI in Northern Ireland. If you don't have one, we arrange it for free.

Questions
Do I need to have run a group before?
No. The course is there to train you. If you have relevant experience or training, tell us on the form.
What if I can't make one of the evenings?
You need to come to all five, because weeks 1 to 4 build on each other and week 5 is the assessment. If the dates don't work for you this time, you can still apply and tell us.
When do I get my deposit back?
Automatically, when you complete the course. If ADHD UK covered your deposit, there is nothing to return.
Do I need to have found a venue?
No. The form asks whether you have, so we know where you are up to.
Ready to apply?
The application form is on our events site. Applying does not book a place. We will reply to everyone by Friday 13 November 2026. Questions: hello@adhduk.co.uk
