Please note that some countries, especially France and Croatia are now also asking for the VHF radio license in addition to the ICC, albeit mainly for the larger boats. The Power Over 10 metre ICC assessment can be taken over a one day assessment or if a bit rusty we can offer you a days training prior to your assessment to bring you back up to speed with the rules and regs as well as the required boat handling skills.
