Online Training - ICC Boat Licence Preparation/Revision
The modules below have been developed with the aim of providing you with the background knowledgre that you can use for a water-based practical training session or an assessment, resulting in the award of a boating Certificate of Competence, for example; The International Certificae of Competence (ICC) or boat license as it's commonly known as.
As well as preparing you for an ICC our main aim is to ensure you understand the pros and cons of boating/ownership, but most importantly how to keep you safe on the water.
Each module takes around 30-45 mins and is lead by one our experienced instructors using a live video stream. We finish with an open questions and open discussion. Please note we are adding modules all the time so please come back regularly to check what's new.
