Associate ADHD Practitioner Certification
Understand the ADHD Mind. Support with Confidence.
Have you ever wanted to truly understand what goes on inside the mind of someone with ADHD?
Whether you’re a coach, teacher, parent, or simply someone who wants to help others thrive, the Associate ADHD Practitioner Certification gives you a compassionate, practical foundation in ADHD awareness and support — without the jargon, without the guesswork.
This is the first step in our professional ADHD coaching pathway and forms the foundation of your certification journey — leading ultimately to ADHD Practitioner and ADHD Master Practitioner status.
Why This Program Exists
ADHD is often misunderstood — reduced to labels like “distracted,” “lazy,” or “unmotivated.” But those who live it know it’s far more complex.
The ADHD brain isn’t broken; it’s wired differently. And when we understand that wiring, we unlock incredible potential.
This program was created to bridge the gap between awareness and understanding, so you can communicate better, coach more effectively, and support people with ADHD in a way that truly resonates.

Why Train With Us
The ADHD Real training pathway was created by Matt Barnett, a master trainer, coach, and father — who lived undiagnosed with ADHD for decades. His programs are not written from theory, but from lived experience, neuroscience, and decades of coaching and teaching.
Matt’s mission is simple:
“To help people with ADHD stop seeing themselves as broken — and start seeing themselves as brilliant.”
