International Certificate of Competence (ICC)

Example International Certificate of Competency for operators of pleasure craft through International Yacht Training

The International Certificate of Competence was developed by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) as a standard of skipper competence.

Many European charter companies require it, especially if you want to charter a boat in the Mediterranean.

There are 4 different types of ICC.

We offer:

1 – ICC sail up to 24m plus power up to 10m

ICC sail up to 24m plus power up to 10m 

Holders of the IYT Bareboat Skipper certificate can apply for an ICC certificate without further assessment and will be asked to cover only the cost of certification plus a small administration fee.

If you do not hold a Bareboat Skipper certificate, but believe you have the relevant experience and wish to be assessed for an ICC, please contact us.

To operate watercraft on European inland waterways, you will need the ICC-CEVNI endorsement.


ICC power up to 10m

Students taking the IYT Small Powerboat and RIB Master course can choose to include the ICC Power as part of their course. 

If you believe you have the relevant knowledge and want a direct assessment, contact us. 

Again, if you operate vessels on inland waterways, the ICC-CEVNI endorsement will be required.
