    Done 6 applications so far.

  • I think the logo you were shown was the "two ticks" Disability Symbol (DS), the award of which is administered by the DWP.

    The suggested question on an application form provided by a DS using company would probably be considered good/best practice at the time of the review which the DWP are supposed to carry out but not mandatory for award of the DS.

    If you meet the DWP Disability Employment Adviser he/she should be able to provide a list of DS user employers in the local area. You might want to use this list for speculative approaches. If you are job searching don't rely just on advertised vacancies - you may get your "foot in the door" before they advertise.


    This sounds familiar!

    I didn't go down that route - to look at I am fine - it is just that I do have disability - hands and feet.

    As posted - I got my new Trainee post today!
  • Well done!!

    Have to sit my CeMap 1 in April then I go onto the Company's own training scheme.

    I did my Mocks on CeMap 2 and 3 last Friday and got 98% for both!

    I did a formal training course with a professional company first!
