This course provides the skills and background knowledge needed by the competent powerboat driver and is the basis of the International Certificate of Competence. It aims to teach boat handling and seamanship in powerboats. It focuses on low speed close quarters handling, man overboard recovery, an introduction to driving at planing speed, and collision regulations.
The course will be mostly practical-based and take place in our 5.85m RIB. Weather permitting, we will always aim to visit three different harbours, to broaden your experience.
Objective
The recipient of a Level 2 Powerboat Handling certificate will be a self-sufficient powerboater in the right conditions, aware of their own limitations and those of the craft. They will understand the key principles of powerboating and implement them to good effect.

The ICC (or to give it its full title International Certificate for Operators of Pleasure Craft) is a certificate which is intended to provide evidence of competence when requested by officials in foreign countries. It was historically known as the International Certificate of Competence. An ICC can be gained through the RYA by successfully completing a Powerboat Level 2 course. The ICC is free to all RYA members.
