QUESTIONS
Useful Answers
Does everyone need an ICC?
No. Requirements depend on the country, vessel, waters and charter operator. We can explain the Irish Sailing pathway, while you should confirm the requirements for the destination where you intend to boat.
Can I go straight to assessment?
Possibly, if your experience, knowledge and practical skills meet the relevant requirements. We can discuss your background first.
