Ready to get MCS certified?

Check your qualifications and training

Start with the technologies you want to become certified for and the people who will carry out and supervise the work.

We help you understand the competency requirements, review your existing qualifications and identify any further training you need. Get the relevant evidence organised before your application and assessment.

Choose your certification body

Your certification body assesses your business and installations against the MCS requirements.

Choose a body that covers your technologies and discuss its application process, fees and assessment arrangements. We can help you understand what to consider and what you will need to prepare.

Decide whether to join a consumer code

Consumer code membership is optional under the redeveloped MCS scheme. You can choose to operate under MCS’s consumer protection arrangements or also join a code for the additional services and benefits it offers.

All installers under the redeveloped scheme must meet MCS’s Customer Commitment, which sets out their responsibilities to customers. You must provide this before the customer enters into an installation contract.

We help you understand these requirements and build them into your customer documents and working practices.

Choose your Financial Protection Product provider

An MCS approved Financial Protection Product is mandatory under the redeveloped scheme and must be arranged for each customer installation.

It provides financial protection for qualifying issues with the design or installation where the original installer cannot or will not put things right, subject to the product’s terms.

Choose an approved provider and understand the cover, costs and process for arranging protection. We help you build this into your customer journey so the required protection and documents are in place.

Set up your QMS and business records

Your quality management system should reflect how your business actually operates.

We help you put your policies, procedures and responsibilities in place, alongside the records that support your work. These include qualifications, operative competency, technical supervision and subcontractor arrangements.

Use the platform to keep the information organised and maintain it as your business develops.

Prepare your installation evidence

Your assessment needs evidence of how you design, deliver and document your installations.

We help you bring the project file together, including:

• Survey information and system design.
• Calculations and performance estimates.
• Customer proposals and contracts.
• Relevant applications and notifications.
• Testing and commissioning records.
• Customer handover documents.

The GreenPro platform gives you the tools to prepare these documents and keep them connected to your project.

Complete your MCS assessment

Arrange your assessment with your certification body and prepare the business records and installation evidence it requires.

Our consultants help you review your preparation, identify gaps and understand what to expect. If the assessment raises non-conformities, we help you work through the findings, plan corrective actions and organise your response.
