MCS Certification Fund extended for 2025/26
July 3, 2025
The Energy Saving Trust has extended its MCS Certification Fund for the 2025/26 financial year.
This grant provides heating engineers with funds to pay their first-year fees to become MCS certified on heat pumps (either air and/or ground source).
The grant pays 75% of the certification fees up to a maximum of £1,000, and runs until the end of March 2026 or until all funding runs out. The funding cannot be offered retrospectively to those who are already MCS certified as it's only for those that are not yet MCS certified for heat pumps.
Anyone installing a heat pump or other renewable system under a Scottish Government scheme must be MCS certified. MCS certification is a mark of quality which demonstrates compliance of both products and installation contractors with recognised industry standards.
