Excellent course and well delivered. The case examples were particularly helpful for developing accurate coding skills.

Very thorough and educational course

Thank you Carol and Gary, everything I thought I knew about autism was a drop in the ocean, I have learned so much and enjoyed the vast information. I am privileged to have had this opportunity to enhance my knowledge.

The course materials and information on moodle were really helpful. Carol was really great at explaining how to administer and providing background information and reasoning for the assessments. Gary was really helpful at all the logistical side of the training. A great course and I look forward to administering the assessments.

I recently completed the ADOS-2 and ADI-R training and found it to be a really valuable and well-structured course. The content was clear and the video examples were especially helpful in bringing the scoring criteria to life! Carol and Garry were engaging and knowledgeable trainers!

Overall, the training was very well structured which made it easy to follow and helped set clear expectations throughout. Having multiple opportunities to practise coding the ADOS/ADI-R was especially valuable and built my confidence in being able to administer the assessments in the future. The resources provided were excellent, particularly the coding system, which made it possible to compare our scoring with that of an expert in the field. Overall, it was a highly supportive and confidence-building learning experience.

I thought that the way the course was structured, built up to learn new modules was progressive and relevant. The moodle page was easy to understand, user friendly and the way that feedback and module scoring was very useful and insightful. Overall, I have learned a lot, and have really enjoyed the course. Thank you :)

The training was highly engaging, well-structured, and clinically relevant, providing a strong foundation in the use of ADOS-2 and ADI-R. The facilitators were knowledgeable and supportive, creating a positive learning environment that encouraged participation and reflection. The combination of theory, practical examples, and discussion enhanced understanding and confidence. Overall, it was a valuable and enriching experience that will positively inform clinical practice.

Brilliant training for multidisciplinary professionals on administering the ADOS-2 and ADI-R. Carol Stott is an engaging and effective teacher, and the content was pitched very well, considering the potential challenges of teaching a mixed group of clinicians. The teaching was well organised, with a good balance of interactive Zoom sessions and opportunities to practise in our own time. This training week was highly relevant and enjoyable, and I am looking forward to incorporating these new skills into my clinical practice as a CAMHS Psychiatrist.

The course is well run and appropriately paced. It manages to cover both assessment tools over the five days. I would highly recommend the combined course, as it builds on the materials each day and has a good sense of continuality.
