MCS certification - sorted!

[Martin Dawes]

Had my MCS inspection today and we got through with no non-compliances.

We're really chuffed and it feels like a weight of my mind.

Our inspector was great but it is true what everyone says, get your paperwork in order because this is 95% of the visit.

well done mate

 

[Martin Dawes]

Hopefully I can be of a little help to others while they try and get through it.

The amount of paperwork is staggering and unusual for most of us sparks.

Can you keep us posted as to how much work you get, I am thinking about it myself but as yet cannot justify the money.

How many courses are involved?

 

[Martin Dawes]

Only one course for us (although one of our guys did the QMS course to help out).

I'll let you know how we get on. We plan on advertising locally and see how it goes.

Well done
Have recently started on this rocky road
Have hopefully got a course sorted in Dec and hope to be up and running some time in the new year.
Will be interested to hear how you get on. Who did you do your MCS through?

 

[Martin Dawes]

Did MCS through the NICEIC.

Well done Martin, Welcome to the club!

 

[Martin Dawes]

I think you can expect most of your day to be taken up by your QMS manual. If you can get that right, you shouldn't go far wrong. Most of the rest of the stuff should be familiar to electricans anyway (risk assessment, calibration certs etc.)

 

[Martin Dawes]

To be honest, looking back, I can't either. But it did. They certainly don't rush.

Not many spreadsheets at all. It was more flow diagrams and documents explaining processes and things like that.
