MCS launches interactive learning platform for installers looking to become MCS certified
MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme), the UK’s quality mark for small-scale renewables like solar panels and heat pumps, has launched a new interactive learning platform for installers looking to become MCS certified.
It has been created for anyone that is considering certification, whether they are an experienced installer looking to make the switch to renewables, or just starting out in their career. It covers:
- What MCS does and how it works with industry
- How certification can help installation businesses to grow
- The practical steps to becoming certified
The platform was developed in partnership with a learning and development consultant to optimise the learning experience and is part of MCS’s ongoing commitment to supporting the industry as small-scale renewables continue to see record-breaking numbers. It is the latest in a series of investments for installers joining the redeveloped installer Scheme, which is rolling out across 2026 and has already seen MCS invest in new roles and reform requirements for financial protection in the industry.
Ian Rippin, CEO at MCS, said:
“More installers than ever before are seeing the value in MCS certification, as the demand for quality, competent installers continues to grow and more UK households turn to home-grown energy.
“We remain committed to raising standards across the sector and ensuring that installers know what to expect from their certification is crucial to that. That’s why we’re delighted that our new digital learning tool is now live.”
