that's interesting. Is it because Helmsman certificate doesn't cover Coastal and Inland waters but only Power? And what if a person has, for instance, only Helmsman and CEVNI test passing?
@@trojanske_hesten There is a good document which shows what combinations of course completion provide eligibility to get an ICC. If you take a look at this document, you basically need a tick in both list A and list B. And the column within those lists the tick is for details if the ICC is for Sail/Power/Coastal/Inland etc. assets.rya.org.uk/assetbank-rya-assets/action/directLinkImage?assetId=51728
Hi There, I have colour blindness but I would like to complete some practical exams, is it ok to have assistance with colour identification for bouyage and lights? Do the RYA have any specific guidance or policy you could refer me to about this matter ? Thank you.
Hi, you should be able to complete these courses without too much difficulty as buoyage and lights use a combination of colours and sequences. So even if you can't see the colour, if you can see the sequence (e.g. flashes once every 5 seconds), you will still be able to identify it. You shouldn't have a problem. You can actually even get a commercial skippers licence whilst colour blind, though you have to go take a special test with the MCA to prove you can still identify buoys.
Thanks, very useful. I find “navigating” maritime courses, requirements and qualifications pretty difficult, but this was a good overview.
Glad it was helpful!
This video was incredibly helpful. Thank you very much!
You're very welcome!
Fantastic walk through of the process, heading directly to your website now as the wife & I have this year got a boat & started learning to sail.
So happy you found this useful and it took you to our website. Any questions, just find us on the live chat or email and out team will help you out!
Amazing video, it answered so many questions. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Many thanks.
You are welcome!
ICC is available for just Helmsman course (Power and up to 24 m )
Correct! But not on it's own. You would also need an RYA Day Skipper Shorebased certificate.
