Training
RYA Training organised and
taught by the following schools /
clubs:
ICC / Own boat for Power or
Sail / CEVNI (Royal Dorset
Yacht Club)
 If you are looking
to take your own boat abroad, many
countries now insist on the ICC as a
formal qualification for at least
one person on board. We offer a
tailored package to get you up to
the standard required for the I.C.C,
and then carry out the practical
assessment for you.
The length of
time this will take varies depending
on your current skills and
experience; sometimes we can do a
day or 2 on your own boat, sometimes
we recommend joining one of our 5
day practical courses. Rather than
simply selling you the most
expensive option available, we
recommend you let us know your
current skill level, and we can
produce a plan to suit you.
Some companies also
specify the ICC as a minimum
qualification for hiring boats
abroad - often you are allowed a
more powerful/larger craft if you
have an ICC.
We can also offer
the CEVNI endorsement to the ICC,
which is essential if you wish to
travel the inland waterways. We can
include training for this during our
course, and the actually CEVNI exam
itself is a short written paper.
If you don't wish to
take any form of training course and
just wish to come in for either the
practical exam or the CEVNI, we can
do this also. We are often able to
carry out CEVNI tests midweek at
very short notice.

RYA Powerboating Level 1 & 2 (Ben
Harris - GB Yachts)
RYA powerboat courses are primarily
for those using small powered craft
such as RIBs, dories and sportsboats
that don't generally undertake long
or offshore passages.
The types of commercial craft
requiring this level certification
are typically: charter fishing
boats, small passenger launches,
thrill ride operators, harbour
patrol launches, construction site
safety boats etc.
If you need a Powerboat Level 2
certificate in order to work on
board a commercial craft subject to
the MCA's codes of practice, you
will need to get it commercially
endorsed - see the link above. You
can then work on commercial vessels
up to 24m in length, operating in
category 6 waters - that is up to 3
miles from a nominated departure
point in fine weather and daylight
hours.
