Fast Track your MTC Application

There’s not long now before the deadline to register your business under the government’s ‘Minimum Technical Competencies’ scheme. In fact, there’s less than a month left!Changes in training and assessment come from a need for greater regulation and higher standards in the glazing industry. Many established and reputable installation companies already have accreditations to show that they follow industry best practices, but from next month these will not be enough.Installers who have already self-certified under a Competent Persons Scheme must upgrade by 6 June to become MTC accredited. Without completing this process, you will no longer be able to self-certify. Companies will now be required to provide evidence that their installers and site surveyors have the knowledge, skills and understanding needed to complete the job in hand, to meet National Occupational Standards (NOS).Installation companies must demonstrate that their workforce can meet certain levels of competency, by ensuring that each staff member has a Level 2/3 NVQ Fenestration qualification or completes a Minimal Technical Competency assessment.
