PTS launches "Easy MCS" course to boost RHI uptake

Plumbing Trade Supplies (PTS) are using the renewables expertise of fellow Travis Perkins Group brand Sustainable Building Solutions (SBS), to launch Easy MCS; the innovative training course offers 12 months of one-to-one mentor support and contains bespoke training software.

The course consists of the award-winning Easy MCS support programme which includes an online quality management system (QMS) to offer step-by-step guidance and on-going compliance with standards over the course of a year.

The bespoke QMS and cloud based online dashboard contains all required procedures, forms, record keeping and MCS paperwork; all designed specifically around the requirements of the delegate and their company. This is backed by mentor support to provide assistance ahead of the MCS assessment.

Each company also has access to a renewable software suite which provides design calculations for all major technologies, saving additional investment in separate design software.

Paul Joyner, Managing Director of SBS, said: “With the launch of the RHI, the number of renewable technology enquiries is expected to increase.

"It’s essential that we support installers who are looking to take advantage of this new stream of business and make their investment in training as valuable as possible; we believe there is no better way than to offer a step-by-step course which also provides tailored QMS solutions and mentor support through branches of PTS.”

The Easy MCS course is offered by PPL Training, the official partner of the Travis Perkins Group. A wide range of courses are available at PPL Training’s 11 UK training centres or to make life easier for installers, single day courses are also available at customer premises or at any PTS branch.
