Find out about the training courses we offer for Heat Pumps and how to become MCS registered.
Product training
Though you do not need a certain qualification to fit heat pumps, we strongly recommend attending our free of charge product training before carrying out an installation.
Our Monobloc Air to Water course and Hybrid course allows you to have hands-on experience with the appliance, understand all the features and benefits, specification, installation and servicing.
How can I offer MCS?
The Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) is an industry-led scheme which demonstrates the quality and reliability of approved products and installation companies.
Being MCS certified demonstrates to your customers that you install to the industry-expected level of quality every time. MCS provides assurance and access to Government funding.
