Quickest route to MCS??

[Lillpete]

Hi I've been asked to install a domestic pv system ASAP to ensure they can get The feed in tariff, but I am not currently MCS.(I explained this to them and said I would look into it)

I have seen that people say it takes 4 months, is there a fast track course or anything as this is a good client so I would prefer to carry out the work if possible

Fast track would be nice!! 4 months is fast. Do the job and explain that it is a 25+ years investment, hence a few months is no big deal.

fast track

WTF is it with people and fast track these days?

have you got your PV yet?

that is the first thing you need, so get booked in for that ASAP, then worry about MCS.

BTW, you will also need part P accreditation, working at heights, manual handling, CoSHH etc.

"Calm down dear"

This is exactly why I am asking if there is a one stop course, I am niceic already but have not done anything other than the basic health and safety required for jib and no CoSHH etc. It seems like a bit of a ball ache to book onto 4 separate courses.

NICEIC do a course that will cover everything you need to pass the exam,

BUT,

it wont teach you how to actually install the system.

 

[Lillpete]

Does anyone offer a practical hands on type course??

where abouts are you based?

 

[sellers]

if installing a system, and then you register 3 months later once certified. Are the payments back dated from the start of the generation meter?

 

[Lillpete]

Hertfordshire

 

[steptoe]

you have to commission and notify the system within 30days IIRC,

so I dont think they will back date it 3 months, and I think most inverters have a time stamp on them.

 

[binky]

Defo no back dating, but if they get it cheap enough, whats the problem!!
