I so would but I've been told you don't help people on the test who have Dyslexicer I went to Towster and was told all. We do is give you extra time on the written test gutted

Whoever told you that was wrong as I work with 1 person with dyslexia on my watch and trained with another guy who had the same thing. Give NFRS HR dept a ring.
