International Certificate of Competence ("ICC")

[@PowerboatTrainingUK]

Hi thanks for the message. I think as a big ship person the qualifications that we offer are probably not suitable. We suggest that you have a look at Warsaw Maritime Academy as they are more focussed on that size of vessel

Hi guys i have a inflatable honwave t40 3.96 meters with 15hp 4 stroke engine i still need anything to drive it on the sea ?thanks a lot

I spoke to a few people with speed boats and seem a little confused with the need for the ICC in the Uk by law , I read it as it’s required on a 4 meter boat for eg. with a engine more than 10hp engine is that correct

Hi @lwelevan In the UK for sub 24m vessels operated for pleasure there is no requirement for the ICC or any other qualification for that matter. You might find that an insurance company requires a qualification if you own a boat and they would typically ask you for RYA Powerboat Level 2 or RYA Dayskipper Practical if a larger motor cruiser. Hope that helps.

Hi, thanks for your video. I am looking for information if I need ICC to sail on British waters as I do have certificate of competency sailing skipper from Poland, but I live in UK.

If you live in the UK then even as a Polish national you can apply for an ICC however you don’t need it on a UK flagged vessel less than 24m used for pleasure.

Does colour blindness affect getting any of those certification?

[@PowerboatTrainingUK]

No. There is no need for any form of medical or sight related test

Honestly the whole ICC thing is a total mess. As someone who's ineligible (according to RYA forms) due to nationality and residence (won't say exactly which as this is a public space) which aren't changing any time soon as that wouldn't be financially sensible, how can I legally sail to Europe (coastal only, non-Mediterranean, likely northern Europe / Baltics) for a holiday to visit family in a privately owned boat without an ICC? What constitutes "proving experience" to the satisfaction of a "harbour master" if you don't hold an ICC because you're ineligible due to nationality and residence? ** Note: What I'm about to say is NOT to avoid learning the things required to sail and be safe at sea, but because I've been there, done that multiple times and its never enough, there's always another "need to do it again to satisfy a bureaucrat" and another $1500 down the drain just to be 'taught' the same things I've already learned. Everyone keeps telling me "just get the ICC" after I've explained my situation to them - I guess its because I'm one of the few edge-cases that no one ever thought about that have no way to get an ICC as the EU country of which I'm a citizen only grants licences to those who are full-time resident there, requiring annual "re-quals" (a condition of the licence from the Cold War (communist) era that still lingers) and they revoke the licence if you quit residing there. I have multiple 'national' licences (from countries outside the EU), in order to obtain them, I had to do practical training inline with and exceeding Res. 40 and then further extension training (local govt requirement); because the training was through an "outdoor education provider" (only option for the required training at the time) its govt accepted and accredited (as its from a govt accredited RTO) but not recognized as an ICC internationally. When obtaining the licences I hold, I had to use that training certificate in order to avoid a "IALA-A Only,
