Buy international certificate of competence for sailing across the worlds oceans

Buy an International certificate of competence (ICC) to sail or rent pleasure craft internationally without the need of getting another license in the country you want to sail or prove that you have the necessary skills, All countries of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe Inland Water Committee (UN ECE IWC) Resolution 40 are obligated to accept the ICC and it is also widely accepted by many other countries so you will have to check if you are visiting a non resolution 40 country to know if they accept the ICC.

Whether or not you are from a country that issues the ICC, we will produce you an ICC when you buy from us, so you don’t need to worry if you are coming from a country that is not a signatory or the resolution 40.

Since we do not require you to be in possession of a boat license before buying an ICC from us, all we require from you are your information which will be used to produce and register you ICC.

You do not need to undertake any training courses, tests or assessments before obtaining an ICC from us.
