ICC simply stands for International Certificate of Competence and is now the standard that boat owners and skippers have to meet in order to enjoy their boats or yachts in most international waters including Europe.
The RYA ICC certificate comes in 4 versions which are usually obtained by taking the appropriate RYA training course as detailed below.
ICC Certificate Type | RYA Practical Course Required |
Powerboats under 10 metres in length | RYA Powerboat Level 2 Or Above |
Powerboats including motor yachts over 10m in length | RYA Day Skipper Motor Practical Or Powerboat Advanced Level |
Any sailing vessel | RYA Day Skipper Sail Practical Or Above |
Jet skis ( as known as personal watercraft PWC ) | RYA PWC Jet Ski Course, RYA Powerboat Level 2 Or Above |
However, if you feel you already have the skills and experience without taking a full RYA training course we can arrange an ICC direct assesment for you. Within our training centre we have several ribs, a 37ft sailing yacht and 46ft flybridge motor yacht that are all available for RYA training course or ICC direct assessments.
