ICC
The International Certificate of Competence is available at all Sail in Asia Sea Schools.

ICC – your passport to yacht charters

The ICC is widely recognised by yacht charter (rental) companies around the world and is often compulsory in Europe.

The International Certificate of Competency (ICC) demonstrates your ability to handle a boat and your knowledge of navigation, safety procedures and the International Regulations for the Prevention of Collisions at Sea. It is the nearest thing there is to an International Boat Driving License.

Some IYT Worldwide Certificates allow you to apply for an ICC without the need for any further testing.

The following courses are all recognised as compliant for the International Certificate of Competence;

The IYT Small Powerboat & RIB Master  is recognised by the UK government Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) and we offer an ICC with this course by adding a further days training to cover the additional theory knowledge required and the harder exam.

There is a modest additional charge for the certificate to cover IYT costs. The certificates are valid for 5 years and renewable without additional examination or qualifying hours/miles in the intervening time.
