The ICC assessment
On your arrival you will be welcomed by one of our RYA qualified instructors who will take you to the training yacht of our school which is going to be used for the assessment. You will have enough time to familiarise yourself with the yacht and her equipment before the assessment. The assessor will be one of our RYA qualified instructors, he/she will brief you about the assessment and he/she will make sure that the hole procedure will be pleasant conducted in a friendly environment. The assessment usually starts with the theory aspects followed by the practical assessment. The minimum duration is 4 hours and is conducted at our base in Lygia.
Before booking your assessment
It is important to note that this ICC assessment is not a substitude for taking a theory and practical course. It is not a course and you will be assessed on your knowledge, understanding, and sailing skills. If your sailing and navigation skills do not reach the standard required to be issued an ICC your assessor will not be able to sign your ICC application form. If you are in any doubt at you should consider taking the Day Skipper theory and Day Skipper practical course instead.
An RYA centre is unable to physically present you with the ICC certificate. Upon succesful completion of the assessment the assessor will sign the ICC form, which then needs to be sent to the RYA which is the only governing body in the U.K that can issue the certificate. The turnaround is roughly 2 weeks. You are not legally qualified until you have the physical ICC on your person.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1597152849294{margin-top: 5% !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]
