Questions about Neurodiversity Awareness training

How long is the Neurodiversity Awareness course?

It's made up of 6 microlessons, each under 5 minutes. Learners can finish it in one sitting or spread it over a few days, and 5Mins sends reminders until it is done.

Is there a certificate?

Yes. Learners get a certificate of completion once they finish every microlesson and complete the situational test. The record is stored in 5Mins for audits.

What does neurodiversity cover?

Natural differences in how people think, learn and process information. The course covers conditions such as autism, ADHD and dyslexia, and focuses on the strengths and needs of neurodivergent colleagues.

What are reasonable adjustments?

Changes an employer makes so a disabled person isn't put at a substantial disadvantage, such as flexible hours, quieter spaces, written instructions or adjusted interviews. The Equality Act 2010 makes this a legal duty where it applies.

Who should take this course?

Every employee, and especially managers, HR and recruitment teams who shape how people are hired, managed and supported.

How often should staff take this training?

There is no fixed frequency in law. In 5Mins you can set the course to repeat, for example every 12 months, so refreshers happen automatically.

Can I try the course first?

Yes. Request a free sample lesson and book a short demo with our team. After your demo, we'll share sample lessons with you so you can see the format for yourself.
