Well done to Simply Certification who have just completed their MCS assessment with UKAS for the new standard — and this marks a major step forward, not just for Simply, but for the organisations we support across the renewables sector.

Simply Learning is the only organisation offering a dedicated renewables training centre that is directly aligned to an MCS certification body

Not partnered.
Not loosely associated.
Not “working towards”.
Simply. Aligned. Properly.

For the first time, renewables competency training and MCS assessment are being designed together, not bolted on after the fact. That means clarity for customers, consistency in delivery, and a far smoother route through certification.

From February 2026, we will be delivering courses fully aligned to the new MCS standard, built with assessment, competence, and real-world application at the core.

What does that mean for our customers?

• One clear route from training to certification
• No conflicting interpretations of the standard
• No duplicated effort
• No unnecessary complexity
• Confidence that training actually stands up at assessment

This isn’t about being loud.

It’s about doing the work properly.

The renewables sector has been crying out for joined-up thinking between training and certification. We’ve listened, invested, and built it — robustly, independently, and with standards integrity front and centre.

Others may think they can replicate this.

We know what it takes to actually deliver it.

This is Simply leading the way.

Thinking about booking your CSCS test… but not feeling 100% confident on the health and safety stuff?

You’re not alone. And no, “I’ve been on site 20 years” isn’t always enough anymore.

Even better?
You can do the CSCS test with us too, so no running around trying to book it elsewhere or panicking about dates.

Perfect for:
👷‍♂️Contractors
👷‍♂️Sole traders
👷‍♂️Anyone who wants to pass first time and crack on with work

Utility contractors – quick heads-up 👷‍♂️⚡💧

If you’re working on utility networks, EUSR registration isn’t optional — it’s a requirement on many sites before work even starts.

At Simply Learning, we deliver EUSR courses for utility contractors who need recognised training to stay compliant and site-ready, including operatives working across gas, water, power and telecoms.

Our EUSR training is:
• Recognised and industry-aligned
• Delivered by experienced trainers
• Straightforward to book
• Designed to keep projects moving without delays

If you’re planning upcoming works, booking training early avoids last-minute scrambles and lost time on site.

Follow our page to stay updated on EUSR course dates, availability and offers — and make sure training doesn’t hold your work up.

Sole traders: quick question…

Are your tickets up to date, or are you hoping no one asks on the next job?

Confined spaces work isn’t something you can blag. If you’re entering or controlling medium-risk confined spaces, the City & Guilds Level 2 qualification is often a must-have — not a nice-to-have.

Get it sorted properly, with training that actually makes sense on site.
