We have developed an ADHD self-paced, online course for people who would prefer to complete it in their own time in a more flexible format. This is a great fit for motivated individuals who want to jump in right away and who would prefer to work through the course on their own rather than engaging in a live workshop during the workday.
- Recorded video course.
- Self-paced –can watch and re-watch anytime.
- 6-months of access to the videos and course materials, allowing you to rewatch the videos multiple times.
- Solo-style learning rather than online classroom.
- Registration is not restricted geographically, although intended for Canadians who currently reside within Canada.
