ICC Spanish Test Centre
Why do you need an ICC. Any British or Irish Citizen/Resident sailing outside of the UK should carry an International Certificate of Competence (ICC). It is the most recognised international qualification overiding most national equivilents. It is something Port Police are likely to inspect and carrying it avoids complicated discussions in a foreign language to ascertain your rights to be in charge of your vessel.
About ICC The ICC accreditation issued by Spanish Sailing is done in conjunction with International Yacht tarining (IYT). A certificate is issued following a practical and oral examination covering basic navigation, seamanship, and handling.
Obtaining your ICC If you have existing experience then we can offer 2 options. You can either undertake a 2 day refresher course which includes the test or if you prefer you can put yourself forward for the test only which takes half a day.
The Cost Refresher Course with Examination (2 day) 295 euros
Examination only (half day) 195 euros
For Complete Beginners We have programs ablke to take you to ICC level from any level of experience. These are modular and a program can be constructed around any experience you might have. To give you an idea of what this could be, complete beginners would need to aloow for a 2 week course.
