Qualified to MCS-certified - done with you
Passing the exam makes you qualified. Becoming an MCS-certified installer takes five more applications - each easy to get wrong, and expensive when you do. We take you through all five, in the order that works. From £299.
Before we start
You should already have (1) passed the RPL Level 3 ASHP knowledge exam and (2) completed your course requirements. Not there yet? Start with the exam prep →
The five stages we guide you through
Every stage has its own paperwork, its own body to satisfy, and its own way of going wrong. We take you through all five.
Company setup
Register the business correctly at Companies House - the foundation everything else attaches to.
Insurance
The right cover at the right level for heat-pump installation work.
QMS software
A Quality Management System that satisfies the certification framework.
Consumer Code membership
Join an approved consumer code and meet its requirements.
MCS registration
The last of the five applications. Certification itself is decided afterwards, by assessment - see "What we don't do" below for which part of that we prepare you for.

Needed help in reviewing documents, top notch effort. Pointed out all mistakes and gave corrections. Worth the money and quick response. thanks
Really happy with the support from PASSRPL for my MCS registration. Ghana was very helpful and guided me through the process step by step. He answered all my questions and provided clear guidance throughout. Great service and definitely recommended!
What the process costs (and what's not our fee)
Only our consulting fee (from £299) is ours. The figures below are paid directly to external bodies (Companies House, insurers, your QMS provider, the consumer code and the MCS certification body). They are indicative, incl. VAT, and set by those providers.
| Item | Basis | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Company setup | one-off | £100 |
| Insurance | per year | £500 – £900* |
| QMS software | per year | £750 |
| Consumer Code - joining fee | one-off | £120 |
| Consumer Code - membership | per year | £358.80 |
| MCS registration | per year | £996 |
Estimated first-year total roughly £2,825 – £3,225 (one-off £220 + recurring, incl. insurance). *Insurance varies with cover level, turnover and claims history. Figures subject to change by the relevant provider. Knowing the costs is the easy part - the consultation is for the part that is not: knowing what each body wants, and in what order.
What we don't do
MCS involves three assessments: an onboarding call, a desk assessment and a site assessment.
We prep you for the first - the MCS Installer Onboarding (Call Assessment). Your package includes our MCS OBC Assessment guide, which writes every likely question and answer in your own business's terms.
We don't carry out or prepare for the desk and site assessments - those sit with your certification body, not us. The best preparation for those is theory, which is what our exam-prep platform is built to give you.
Timeline
The whole process typically takes around 2–3 months, depending on how quickly the external bodies process each application.
FAQ
Who is this for?+
Installers who have already passed the RPL Level 3 ASHP knowledge exam and completed their course requirements (typically Air Source Heat Pumps, Water Regulations and Unvented G3). Consulting takes you from qualified to MCS-certified.
Do you submit the applications for me?+
No - it is done with you, not for you. We help you complete every form, but you submit them yourself to the external bodies. They have to come from you.
Do you handle the assessments?+
There are three: an onboarding call, a desk assessment and a site assessment. We prepare you for the call, and your package includes our MCS OBC Assessment guide, which writes every likely question and answer in your own terms. The desk and site assessments are run by your certification body rather than us - the best preparation for those is theory, which is what our exam-prep platform is for.
How long does it take?+
Typically around 2–3 months end to end. The exact timeline depends on how fast the external bodies process each application.
