Hello,
For just assessment, a trained Psychologist can get the assessment done.
For assessment and treatment (medication), only psychiatrist can do.
Different scales are used for ADHD assessment.
Assuming that it is for child, parent rating scale can be done online.
Even for adult online assessment can be done.
But online assessment can have its own limitations.
Hence better to meet a psychiatrist in person
Next Steps
consult a psychiatrist, preferably child psychiatrist for child, for assessment and further management

I appreciate that you are approaching guidance from professional. For your information Clinical psychologist give testing/ assessments even for ADHD what you are looking.Psychiatrist give medicines along with counselling. And other psychologist and therapist gives therapy to help better. Psychiatrist and Psychologist work hand on hand in mental health.I stuck on one point where you mention without knowing your teachers and parents it would be good if you had shared your age. However. Yes It's possible to conduct online ADHD testing. You can check Many psychological service centre on Google.
