International Certificate of Competence
What is an ICC?
Many European countries require the skipper of a pleasure craft to provide evidence of his or her competence in the form of an International Certificate of Competence (ICC). The ICC allows the holder to voyage internationally, however this is not an alternative to a National Qualification and its validity is determined by the country visited.
How to Gain an ICC?
To gain an ICC you will need to prove your competence by completing a practical and theory assessment for the category of ICC required. This test can be undertaken with the CYCSA Marine Academy on our training vessel Southern Investigator or your own boat. (Note that if using your boat, the boat owner or candidate being tested is responsible for the vessel at all times and the vessel must be insured). All testers are current Australia Sailing and RYA Instructors.
