Training & Technical

PTS is backing the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) by offering a range of accredited training courses from its Renewable Energy Branch in Aylesford, Kent.

Courses from one to four days in length are now available following PTS’ partnership with Piper Assessment. Homeowners can apply for special funding when certain renewable energy products are installed by MCS accredited installers.

Paul Johnson, branch manager at PTS’ Renewable Energy Branch, said: “Installers that gain the MCS accreditation can offer their customers access to new funding streams, giving them a great opportunity in the renewable energy marketplace. This is a great route to allow installers to grow their business or break into the ‘green’ sector for the first time.”

PTS offers courses covering solar thermal technology, unvented hot water and water regulations, ground and air source heat pumps and solar pv, in addition to more traditional topics such as health and safety.
