This course has fulfilled all my expectations and more. I did my original ADOS training with Fiona Scott from the Cambridge Autism team, live training across Hertfordshire paediatricians, SALTs and me as consultant clinical psychologist as we ran joint assessment clinics and therapy/ follow-ups. I needed to update and refresh this training, along with the ADI. My experience with Fiona's training meant I was particularly drawn to the Cambridge teams expertise and superb delivery. The offer of an online Combo training course was a significant additional attraction with busy working schedules and Covid-19 vulnerabilities. It also meant that we had candidates across the country in a range of sectors/services which was brilliant. I would also like to say a huge thank you to them both for their kindness, compassion, and humanity as well as their amazing clinical and organizational expertise. I was especially grateful to them for discretely extending the video availability and for staying on to cover the toddler module at the end of a very long week of teaching. Thank you too Garry and Carol for your excellent organization. The whole experience made learning a pleasure. I will be glad to keep in touch.

Brilliant course, really well organised. Our learning was very well supported via guidance offered on how to access resources, alongside the tasks that were set to develop our skill in administering the ADOS/ADI-R.

An excellent course. The trainer, Carol, was an expert in her field and very very knowledgable and experienced. I could not have asked for anything more. The organisation of the course which was mainly organised around hands on experience and talking through afterwards, with some instruction, really suited me. At the end of the week I felt like I had learned a lot about how to administer these two tools and ASD. Carol is keen to impart all the knowledge she has about the topic. Would highly recommend.

I am pleased to have done this course. I had no prior knowledge of the ADOS/ADI-R, but I feel confident administering it now! It was also worth doing the ADOS-2/ ADI-R combo in one go.

I feel the course was very informative and I will benefit more once i have time to consolidate the information, look at my own interpretations and practice from the videos. It would have been good to know the facebook name to search too to maintain that connection.

I am extremely pleased to have taken part in this training, I had it recommended to me from a colleague and i can absolutely see why. I will also be recommending it going forward. I think the combined course makes sense also. The organisation, online platform, and generosity of knowledge has been outstanding and made for a very smooth and informative week. Thanks!
