Worcester launches MCS website

Worcester, Bosch Group has created a website to assist installers of its renewable heating products to become registered under the Microgeneration Certification Scheme.

The website is part of Worcester's MCS Made Easy programme.

It contains helpful document downloads to help installers with their MCS office assessment.

When these documents are updated, installers registered on the site can receive an email to stay up to date, a key aspect of the installer accreditation assessment.

The Microgeneration Certification Scheme or MCS was set up to help homeowners who want to invest in renewable technologies.

There are two sections to MCS, one is the accreditation of domestic renewable products, which manufacturers are awarded if their products meet the standards set out within the scheme.

The second section is to recognise fully qualified, high quality installers who can fit the products.

Martyn Bridges, director of marketing and technical support at Worcester said: "In principle, Worcester supports the requirement for an "over arching" scheme for this type of technology.

However, we recognise that the way the scheme is currently structured, actually makes it difficult for installers to become accredited.

We are now helping to make this process easier and have set up a special area on our website to help guide installers through the process.

The 'MCS made easy' website is aimed at installers who have attended or are thinking of attending training courses for Worcester, Bosch Group's renewable products.

Once registered, installers will be able to access all the online information designed to help with the MCS office inspection process.
