PRESS RELEASE: 24 August 2026
MTCS (UK) Ltd, a global leader in competence certification and training for the offshore, maritime and renewable energy sectors, has achieved Continuing Professional Development (CPD) accreditation for a range of its industry-recognised training and assessment programmes.
The accreditation applies to MTCS’s ROV and AUV Grade Assessments, Skills Assessor programme, and Team Leadership for the Offshore Industry course, marking another significant milestone in the company’s commitment to raising professional standards across safety-critical industries.
For more than 20 years, MTCS has supported organisations and individuals by providing independent workplace competence assessments, verification services and professional development pathways. Its programmes serve professionals working in remotely operated vehicles (ROV), autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV), hydrographic survey, commercial diving and renewable energy operations.
CPD accreditation provides recognised assurance that learning programmes meet established professional development standards. For individuals, it demonstrates a commitment to ongoing learning, competence and career progression. For employers, it offers independent verification that personnel possess and maintain the knowledge and skills required to operate safely and effectively in demanding environments.
The newly accredited activities include:
- Pilot Technician Grade I Assessment
- ROV Senior Pilot Technician Grade Assessment
- ROV Supervisor Grade Assessment
- ROV Superintendent Grade Assessment
- AUV Technician Grade Assessment
- AUV Supervisor Grade Assessment
- AUV Superintendent Grade Assessment
- AUV Engineer Grade Assessment
- Skills Assessor
- Team Leadership for the Offshore Industry
In sectors where employers have a legal and operational responsibility to ensure personnel are competent for safety-critical tasks, independent certification plays an increasingly important role. MTCS certification is widely recognised as evidence that personnel meet the technical, operational and safety standards required for project approval, client audits and contract awards.
To maintain these standards, MTCS operates rigorous assessment and quality assurance processes aligned with recognised industry bodies and organisations, including IMCA, ISOQAR, EAL and RenewableUK. This approach ensures consistency, transparency and confidence in every certification awarded.
The CPD accreditation further enhances the value of MTCS programmes by helping organisations demonstrate workforce competence while supporting employees in their professional growth. As the global energy sector continues to evolve, particularly in offshore renewables, the demand for skilled and demonstrably competent personnel is expected to grow.
Guided by its purpose of inspiring learning and best-practice behaviours to create a sustainable future, MTCS continues to set the benchmark for competence certification and professional development across the global energy workforce.
