Types of ICC

What is the ICC?

The ICC acts as official proof of your boating competence and is accepted by authorities in many countries, particularly across Europe and the Mediterranean. Whether you’re planning to charter abroad or cruise internationally, holding an ICC is often essential.

You can obtain your ICC in one of two ways:

• By completing an approved RYA course

• Through a direct assessment, if you already have the necessary skills and experience

We’ll advise you on the best route based on your current experience and goals.
