ICC Assessment

As an accredited RYA Training Centre, Oceanwest is able to offer the ICC assessment onboard our training yacht Samsara, a Beneteau Oceanis 41.1, or onboard your own yacht > 7m LWL

The ICC is often required in some European countries as proof of your competence to skipper a yacht.  Whether it be for a bare boat yacht charter or for your own vessel.

If you already have the RYA Dayskipper Practical qualification then you can apply for the ICC directly without any further assessment - click here for the ICC application form

If you do not have any formal qualifications then there are two ways to get the ICC: -

1. If you are an experienced yacht skipper with a good theory knowledge, then you can undertake the ICC assessment.  This is a 4 hour assessment of your theory knowledge and
practical sailing skills. You will need to have a good knowledge of the collision regulations, buoyage and pilotage, safety, navigation (plotting a 3 point fix, plotting a fix by lat / long, working out a magnetic course to steer allowing for tidal set and drift using tidal diamonds / atlas and application of leeway.

The practical sailing assessment is being able to depart a leeward berth using a bow or stern spring to spring off, come alongside a windward berth and secure the yacht, MOB recovery, picking up and securing to / slipping from mooring buoys and general sailing on all points of sail.  Please click on the link below to get more information on the ICC
