International Certificate of Competence

Many countries require visiting yachtsmen to hold a certificate of competence.  If you are planning to sail or cruise within Europe and the Mediterranean the RYA recommends skippers to hold the International Certificate of Competence (ICC).

This qualification is available to BRITISH CITIZENS or bone fide BRITISH RESIDENTS.

There are 2 ways to obtain an ICC:

By completing the ICC application form and attaching a photocopy of your PRACTICAL certificate at Day Skipper or above.  For clarification please consult the list of certificates eligible for conversion on the back of the ICC application form. 

By taking a practical test at our Training Centre.  The syllabus is outlined in the form.  The test lasts approximately half a day and can be taken on your own boat or one provided by our school.  The test includes: questions on safety, collision avoidance and for coastal waters; navigation and piloting. 

If you are intending to take a boat through the European Inland Waterways system, i.e. canals, rivers, lakes etc. applicants must have passed a test called the CEVNI (European Inland Waterways Regulations).  The CEVNI test is a multiple choice paper of 14 questions.  The pass mark is 11 and usually takes about 10 minutes.

Recommended Reading – The CEVNI rules can be found in the ‘RYA Book of Euro regs for Inland Waters’.
