The International Certificate of Competence is issued in conformity with Resolution No. 40 of the Working Party on Inland Water Transport.

The ICC is required by many European countries for certain categories of pleasure boat. It is also useful in countries where compulsory certificates are required of nationals simply because officials expect to see such a certificate. RYA publications Foreign Cruising volumes 1 and 2 (code C1 and C2) give details of certification required for all European countries.

Applicants requiring a certificate valid for inland waters must pass a written test on the CEVNI rules (European Inland Waterways Regulations). This is a multiple choice question paper based on the rules laid out in the book European Waterways Regulations (order code G17).

The RYA ICC theory test is a multiple choice paper. Applicants will be excempt from taking the theory test if they hold an RYA Day Skipper shorebased certificate and are able to demonstrate that they maintain the Day Skipper shorebased skill level. Applicants who hold an RYA Day Skipper Practical certificate can apply direct to the RYA for the ICC. Applicants without the Day Skipper Pracitcal qualification who have experience to the same level may take the ICC practical test. This test can be done on school boats or on owner’s own vessel (subject to safety checks carried out by Start Point Sailing).

This test can be done on the owners own yacht or in our classroom.
