Get Your International Certificate of Competence from the Royal Yachting Association

The Royal Yacht Association offers a range of courses and qualifications for those who are serious about boating as well as those who enjoy boating for pleasure. You can get a range of qualifications after undertaking courses as well as the International Certificate of Competence, which is recognised all over the world.

The International Certificate of Competence is recognised all around the world which can be used when dealing with officials. These certificates are very handy to have especially if you expect to sail internationally and they can be obtained by taking exams with the Royal Yacht Association.

 The rya icc involves taking a written test on the CEVNI rules, which is a multiple choice paper based on the official rule book. There are various recognised training centres around the UK that you can use if you wish to take the ICC and these areas will test you as well as some offering courses on all the information you will need to know.

The rya icc can make life easier as it is so well known wherever you are in the world so you will not come up against any hindrances. There are certain rules for eligibility when applying for the ICC so be sure to have checked these before entering into courses or exams. Equally, applicants must be over sixteen, with more information on this process being found on the RYA website.

It is also important to be able to display evidence that you are sufficiently competent to have the certificate issued, which is why doing courses like Powerboat 1 and 2 is important. You can take these courses in a weekend and this can mean that you have a wide skill set as well as better eligibility for the ICC.
