No. We’ll teach you everything you need, but an interest and passion about neurodiversity is key. From workshop design and delivery skills to handling questions confidently. Whether you’re new to training or already experienced, Perfectly Autistic™ Academy will help you develop a clear structure, polish your delivery and build your training offering.
-
Unlike pre-recorded or generic “train the trainer” programmes, Perfectly Autistic™ Academy is taught live by us - Kelly and Hester.
We’ve trained tens of thousands of people through Perfectly Autistic, delivered consultancy to global brands, and Hester has toured the UK with her show ADHD Unmasked.
We bring our lived experience: Kelly is autistic and ADHD and Hester has ADHD - they also have two teens who are Autistic / ADHD - one with a PDA profile who is dyspraxic too. That blend of professional expertise and personal insight and lived experience makes this a unique and practical learning experience.
-
By the end of the 6 week course, you’ll have the confidence and tools to deliver impactful neurodiversity awareness training. You’ll receive a certification as a Certified Neurodiversity Trainer via Perfectly Autistic Academy.
You’ll also have strategies to begin growing your own training business.

The course runs over six weeks, with a 2-hour live session each week on Microsoft Teams.
You’ll also want to allow 1–2 hours a week for reflection, practice or applying what you’ve learned.
Everything is designed to be manageable alongside work and life commitments.
-
To keep it interactive and personal, we limit each cohort to 12–15 participants.
This allows for plenty of discussion, practice and feedback.
-
On successful completion of the course, you will be awarded the Certified Neurodiversity Trainer Certificate.
This course is internally accredited by Perfectly Autistic Ltd, meaning your certificate demonstrates that you have been trained and certified directly by one of the UK’s leading neurodiversity consultancies, who have delivered training to thousands of people across global organisations.
While this is not an external regulated qualification, it is a recognised certification of achievement from Perfectly Autistic Ltd, showing you have completed our trainer programme to the required standard.
-
To successfully complete the course and achieve your Certified Neurodiversity Trainer Certificate, you’ll complete a final assignment.
This involves designing and delivering a training segment with slides, using the tools, techniques and approaches you’ve learned throughout the course.
Your session will be observed by Hester and Kelly, and you’ll receive constructive feedback. Passing this final assignment is essential — only once we are confident in your ability to deliver effective, inclusive training will your certificate be awarded.
This ensures that every Certified Neurodiversity Trainer has met the high standards set by Perfectly Autistic Ltd.
-
No and that’s intentional. Instead of handing you a “one-size-fits-all” script, we help you develop the skills, confidence and framework to design your own workshops.
This ensures your training reflects your unique style, expertise and any lived or relevent experience, making it more authentic and impactful.
-
Yes. you’ll leave with strategies, resources and connections from your cohort.
We also plan to offer optional ongoing support for Academy graduates, so you can keep developing your skills and building your neurodiversity training business.
