INTERNATIONAL SKIPPER COURSE

This course is run from 9am on Friday to 5pm on Sunday and includes:
- International Watchkeeper certificate/Flotilla Skipper Certificate
- International Bareboat Skipper Certificate
- International Certificate of Competence (ICC)

The International Watchkeeper certificate/Flotilla Skipper Certificate is aimed at increasing your nautical knowledge sufficiently to be a watchkeeper on board a bareboat yacht, or a flotilla skipper in fair weather, in daylight hours within sight of land.

The International Bareboat Skipper Certificate is a certificate of excellence for those who wish to take command of their own yachts confidently and safely or for those who wish to charter a small yacht for their family holiday. There is a minimum entry for this - candidates are required to have logged a total of 200 nautical miles and 10 days at sea before advancing to this level

The ICC is now required for operators of most vessels on both inland and coastal waters in a large part of the sailing Community.
