What is an ICC (International Certificate of competence)?
An RYA ICC is documentary assurance from the United Kingdom government to another that confirms that the holder has reached a certain level of competence. It should be noted that this is not a qualification in its own right and certification or training must first be obtained prior to applying for the ICC.
In general terms an ICC is required for Inland waterways of Europe and for Inland and Coastal waters of Mediterranean countries. Although it is not guaranteed that the ICC will be accepted by all countries it is a reliable document to possess and carry with you when traveling in foreign waters as it is generally accepted where proof of competence is required. Some countries may also accept the ICC as an alternative to their national qualification, this however should never be assumed and we recommend always checking with the local authorities before visiting the area.
