    Choosing the Right ADHD Coach training

ADHD Coaching is a hands-on profession that requires more than theoretical knowledge. To truly master the skills, it’s essential to engage in live, interactive, and collaborative learning experiences. I strongly advocate for in-person programs and/or live training and mentoring via video calls. Automated or self-paced programs fail to provide the practical application and real-time feedback necessary for building the skills required to support clients effectively in a collaborative coaching process.

When choosing an ADHD Coach training program, take the time to evaluate not only the program’s structure and level of interaction but also the qualifications of its trainers. Trainers should hold advanced certifications and have significant experience as practicing ADHD coaches.Consider whether the program provides hands-on practice, mentorship opportunities, and a clear pathway to certification through reputable organisations.

                        Evaluating an ADHD Coach training Program

The program should offer:

    • Opportunities for supervised / mentored coaching practice.
    • Sessions with personalised feedback to enhance your skills.
    • Live, interactive sessions and collaborative learning experiences.
    • in-person options and/or live mentoring via video calls.

Trainers certification and experience:

Ensure trainers:

  • Have significant experience as practicing ADHD coaches.
  • Hold certifcation PCAC or MCAC by PAAC (The Professional Association for ADHD Coaches).
  • Or hold certifications PCC or MCC by the International Coaching Federation (ICF).

Pathway to Certification: Ensure the program provides a clear route to certification through reputable organisations like PAAC or ICF.

Note: PAAC is the only organization certifying ADHD-specific coaches,while ICF is the largest global organization for generic coaching.
