Hi EasyMCS you run those figures off like a well oiled politicians spin doctor unfortunatley you forget that as eaton is a oneman band these are not his only costs there are also the costs of any other bodies he is a member of, so why does the MCS have to exist as a body why cant there be just one body for heating engineers

easyMCS you're assuming that once you've got MCS accreditation there's going to be an endless supply of work, seeing as the this incompetent government has ballsed up the RHI unless you are into solar PV its not worthwhile registering for MCS and I for one am peed off at having spent a lot of money on pointless training courses for renewables when there's very little work to be had because of a lack of promised incentives from a bunch of corrupt MP's who are too busy with their snouts in the trough that is solar PV.

Unguided1 I can assure you as the operations manager of easy mcs that I have not forgot the running costs of a one man band as I was one until January this year. I set up Easy mcs along side my own installation business which was me and an apprentice. And left to concentrate on easy mcs in January this year. Easy mcs was created with good intrusions to simplify the process of creating the mcs which in your own words is a barrier for installers but I have certainly spent my time in your position and I hope the service easy mcs offers is value for money. But I can assure you we don't wright the standards or advise on them we just take down a barrier that may prevent other installers gaining mcs.Easy mcs is only here to help where needed and I fully understand the costs involved in gaining mcs as I did it for myself prior to joining. I hope this shows that we are not just a faceless organisation and I would apprecite the chance to meet with yourself so you can see for yourself that I personally will assist fellow heating engineers in any way I can around gaining mcs be that in free seminars or discussing barriers to present to the certification bodies to develop a solution that not only conforms with the regulation but works for all involved. If you would like to take me up on a meeting please pm your details and I will contact you to discuss further.

Mark, do you see any benefits to the RHI announcement ?It's the first heat production incentive of it's kind and the RHI premium payment set to come in this September is estimated to be worth around a years worth of the anticipated RHI payments. The only people to lose out on this is the heat pump manufactures who have concentrated on commercial air source. I would be interested to hear your thoughts as this questions comes up many times during our trainng days and mentoring service.
I can see the benefits in it but forgive me for being skeptical but I have been waiting for years for it to come in! Yes there will be a premium payment this year but when is the RHI going to come into force and what are the figures it's not easy trying to sell renewables to somebody when you can't quote any figures to your customers. You say the only people to lose out are heat pump manufacturers but the way I see it the losers are those that have spent money on courses for solar thermal and heat pumps etc when if we'd spent our hard earned cash on a solar PV course we'd be quids in
Hi EasyMCS
I would be more than willing to meet up, I am afraid as an Installer I am not as eloquant a campaigner as MickW and my reasons for refusing to join the MCS is physical cost, the rediculous QMS and the fact that it is further splintering our industry, and more importantly is the fact that it is my belief that customers are not being protected.
I appreciate the time you are offering in meeting me and I fully hope that you will not find it a waste of time.

NoT sure to be honest, not really spoke in great length just had the qms sent and got on with it. Spoken to Simon (who without being rude seemed the most clued up) and last week Libby who was very helpful. Not sure what you mean by mentor feels like ive missed something now!! Will say would never of completed this without the qms. Afraid it's way above my business level. As I've said before I really like the enquiries, invoice, risk assessment, parts etc but the meetings etc for 1 man bands are ridiculous
I would just like to say good luck with tomorrow Eaton I hope it all goes well for you, I can honestly say that I fully respect you for the trial you are going through and as a one man band you deserve to pass

righty where do I start,
Was not expecting that, what a piece of ****, seriously never had an easier day, lovely bloke, went through my qms with a fine tooth comb, total time spent on paperwork and site visit 4 hours, rset of time spoke about work and campervans, in his own words " youve absolutely nailed this"
just need my certificate from REAL and im done. Must say the easymcs qms helped me walk it, honestly cant believe how easy it was.
