NAPIT Certification Scheme Experiences with NAPIT or CLE for Solar MCS?

[Allan_r_123]

Hi there
We are currently about to apply for Mcs accreditation and have been having a look at the accreditation bodies available to us.

The main two we are now considering is CLE (as they are based at Scotland where we are located) or NAPIT who have been very helpful and informative so far.

Just wondering if anyone has went through their accreditation with either of the above companies and any recommendations or info to take note of?

Thanks

Napit are good cant vouch for any others.
All i will say is unless you have office based people good with paperwork, invest in a quality management folder then familiarise yourself with it. I couldnt of done it without one! for the sake of £200, (some dearer) i used one from MCS Quality Management Systems | MCS Quality Systems | MCS Quality Management | MCS Quality Manual
although others obviously available!!

I did NIC MCS course with manual and MCS through NIC. Back office were good, Inspection was 4th Oct, booked 30th July. My NCRs were dealt with promptly and I had a good experience with them. The assessor was competent and fair although he was not a spark. However MCS course is rubbish, they dont provide a decent manual and its a waste of a day in your life. There are loads of errors in the manual, the sections don't match with MCS sections, and there are lots of things you need to implement like method statements which they dont teach you on the course.

The mcs folder I got as stated above came with method statements, h&s policies etc everything I needed! Really can't recommend it highly enough!
They even offered money back if not satisfied after receiving it! Couldn't lose with that.
