International Certificate of Competence (ICC):
Upon completing the RYA Powerboat Level 2 course, you can apply for an International Certificate of Competence (ICC) through the RYA. This digital certificate qualifies you to operate power craft up to 10 metres in coastal waters of ICC-regulated countries, including:
Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and Turkey.
The ICC is valid for five years and costs £59.00 for non-members, or is free for RYA members. It is available to British citizens or bona fide UK residents. For inland waterways in Europe, the CEVNI test is also required, and we are in the process of setting up testing facilities for this.
From the Official RYA site:
Provides the skills and background knowledge needed by the competent powerboat driver and is the basis of the International Certificate of Competence. It aims to teach boat handling and seamanship in powerboats. It focuses on low speed close quarters handling, man overboard recovery, an introduction to driving at planing speed, and collision regulations. The course can be taken at an inland or coastal location. It may be conducted in a variety of boat types, both planing and displacement. The certificate issued will be endorsed to show the type of boat in which the training took place.
