As with any job advertisement on Civil Service Jobs, candidates must have registered an account with the site to apply for a vacancy. The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) is not responsible for this site.

The only data DVSA can directly extract from campaigns run on Civil Service Jobs, and candidates’ activity as part of these, relates to the overall numbers of applications, such as applications started and completed. This data does not link back to any previous click-throughs.
