ICC 國際能力執照

國際能力執照 (International Certificate of Competency),簡稱ICC,是一能力執照而不一定是「課程」。ICC執照認證個人具備聯合國歐洲經濟委員會內陸水域委員會 (UNECE IWC) 第40號決議規範之必要能力。
2013年,IYT推出十公尺和24公尺能力培訓課程,課程名稱分別為「ICC <10m」及「ICC <24m」。而今2020年,回顧當時,我們認為當時決策未盡理想,因為租賃公司已開始要求基礎認證而非ICC認證。除了ICC外,我們鼓勵學員另外修習基礎課程並獲得認證。請詳閱以下基礎認證資訊介紹。
請注意每間學校都必須獲得IYT Worldwide批准,才能頒發學員ICC。只有經過稽核和檢查的IYT學校,或與IYT維持良好互動的學校可提供ICC認證。我們樂於考量可提供該執照的新學校申請。

您是否想在歐洲租船?請確認您具備資格!
最好同時持有初級船長執照(或以上)及ICC!

過去,若您要在歐洲租船,ICC執照就足以證明您具備足夠能力,可安全駕駛船隻。
不過,最近我們注意到,有些歐洲租賃公司和保險公司不認為ICC足以證明您具備足夠駕船能力,可租賃一週光船(動力船或帆船)。這些公司會要求租賃人必須持有IYT國際初級船長 (IYT International Flotilla Skipper) 或IYT國際光船船長 (IYT International Bareboat Skipper) 動力或帆船執照(或公司「批准」清單上同等資格)。
租賃公司和保險公司對於他們覺得資格不足或無法指揮船隻一週的人缺乏信心,不想將昂貴遊艇交付其手中。
有些客戶因為只持有ICC,租賃契約遭取消。

不過,也有些希臘租賃公司不接受IYT初級船長和/或光船船長執照,因為限制中提及「日間」。之所以有此限制是因為租賃公司不允許船隻於日落後駕駛,租賃船隻於日落前就應靠岸或錨泊。
租賃公司的回覆堅持ICC中並未提到這項限制。也因此,我們建議持有初級船長或以上,以及ICC執照兩者,以避免任何租賃相關問題。
租賃前請務必先與租賃公司確認,確保您具備必要資格。

在歐盟大部分內陸和沿岸水域駕駛大部分船隻皆須具備ICC執照。
成功完成國際初級船長或光船船長課程者得自動授予24M ICC 執照,但前提是該課程是由可頒發24M ICC 執照的夥伴學校提供。

成功完成動力小船和硬式充氣艇 (Small Powerboat & RIB Master) MCA 認可課程者得自動授予10M ICC執照。提供動力小船和硬式充氣艇 MCA 認可課程的學校也應獲得10M ICC認證批准,如此對夥伴學校的硬式充氣艇課程選擇才沒有疑義。

IYT ICC政府認可

24M ICC執照獲英國海事與沿岸警衛署 (Maritime & Coastguard Agency, MCA) 認可。
24M ICC執照亦獲得加拿大交通部 (Transport Canada) 認可,因此24M ICC(加拿大版)執照持有者毋需駕船牌照 (Pleasure Craft Operator Card, PCOC) 即可在加拿大駕駛遊樂船,但前提是必須先符合「加拿大駕船規範 (Canadian Boating Requirements)」。IYT 24M ICC持有者可完成簡短課程和測驗將執照「升級」為加拿大版。
10M ICC執照獲英國海事與沿岸警衛署認可。

ICC先修課程提供線上課程(E化學習)

我們很驕傲地宣布現已提供線上課程,供想要學習和進行理論考試的學員修習。修畢後可至授權IYT培訓機構參加筆試和實務測驗。若想修習這些課程,請註冊以獲得您專有的IYT帳號並登入,登入即可修習ICC E化學習課程。


ICC(和CEVNI)是什麼,又在哪裡需要用到?

各位可能已經知道,在部分歐洲國家,若想要租船就必須持有獲認可的ICC執照。地中海國家內陸和沿岸海域多有此規範。北歐和斯堪地那維亞半島則多無此規範,但若想租船,出發前仍強烈建議各位先與要前往的歐洲國家確認。
ICC為聯合國歐洲經濟委員會內陸水域委員會 (UNECE IWC) 第40號決議的產物。ICC為一政府向另一政府提供的文件保證,證明持有人具備第40號決議規範的能力水準。


根據第40號決議,誰可以獲得IYT ICC執照?

根據UNECE2第40號決議(修訂版四),第40號決議簽署國(列表如下)的公民和居民必須自各國發照單位取得ICC,而非透過IYT(英國和拉脫維亞除外,詳見下方註解)取得。IYT頒發ICC執照給這些國家公民的唯一例外為申請人提供居住證明*,證明並不住在清單列表的國家。例如:奧地利國民住在西班牙或希臘者若提供西班牙或希臘「居住證明」,便可自IY取得ICC執照。
* 居住證明(範例):水電帳單(電或瓦斯)、房產稅帳單、電話帳單、保險帳單,IYT可頒發ICC執照給未列於下列清單的任何國家公民。
截至2016年五月,下列國家批准第40號決議。
奧地利
白俄羅斯
比利時
保加利亞
克羅埃西亞
捷克
芬蘭
德國
匈牙利
愛爾蘭
拉脫維亞**
立陶宛
盧森堡
荷蘭
挪威
波蘭
羅馬尼亞
塞爾維亞
斯洛伐克
南非
瑞士
烏克蘭
英國***

** 拉脫維亞政府給予IYT紙本許可,可頒發ICC執照給其國民及居民。
*** 過去18年來,IYT獲得授權,可代表英國海事與沿岸警衛署頒發ICC執照給英國國民及居民。參考資料:UNECE第40號決議文件https://www.unece.org/fileadmin/DAM/trans/doc/2015/sc3wp3/Guidelines_to_Resolution_No._40_e.pdf
注意:接受第40號決議的UNECE會員國名單若有更改,恕不另行通知,因此一人的資格在ICC效期內可能會有所變化。如發生此情況,執照持有者必須通知IYT並交出其執照。若執照持有人在執照到期時無法充分證明其持續符合資格,IYT將不會對更新其執照。


ICC證明及船隻大小

證明可能為
(動力24公尺)24公尺內的任何動力驅動船。
(動力10公尺)10公尺內的任何動力驅動船。
(帆船24公尺及動力10公尺)24公尺內帆船。(必須包含動力10公尺以往返岸邊)。
(PWC)水上摩托車。
(沿岸水域)僅限沿岸航行。
(沿岸和內陸)供歐洲內陸水道和沿岸使用。必須成功完成CEVNI測驗。細節詳列如下。


包含哪些船隻大小?

帆船
ICC帆船 <24公尺、動力 <10公尺包含小於24公尺的帆船和小於10公尺的動力。之所以納入小於十公尺動力是因為多數帆船有往返岸上的小艇。
若要取得此執照,應試者必須參加IYT國際船員及初級船長/光船船長風帆課程 (IYT International Crew & Flotilla/Bareboat Skipper Sail course),即「國際駕船與航行護照 (International Boating & Sailing Passport)」中IYT休閒計畫 (IYT Recreational Programme) 課程模組1–11及13–25。應試者必須持有獲認可的特高頻海事通訊資格 (VHF Marine Communications Qualification) 或必須修習IYT 特高頻/短距離認證海事通訊課程 (VHF/SRC Marine Communications Course) IYT模組。
註:線上ICC課程包含上述提到的所有課程模組,模組1-25,特高頻/短距離認證亦涵蓋在內。

動力船
ICC執照乃基於您所修習的課程,如下所述。
若您想要駕駛小於24公尺的動力船,請按上述帆船說明(當然,參加動力課程除外)。
若您想要駕駛小於10公尺的動力船,請參加IYT/MCA動力小船和硬式充氣艇課程。成功完成上述課程後,便能取得ICC <10公尺動力執照。


如何取得ICC執照?

多數IYT夥伴學校皆經批准,可提供學員ICC認證。不過,請先與選擇培訓的學校或至我們的官網確認。學校是否可提供認證由IYT決定。請記得,應試者必須符合第40號決議規範之要求。

誰可以取得ICC

多年來皆獲英國海事和沿岸警衛局MCA的批准,可向英國護照持有人和其他國籍者核發ICC執照,但前提是申請人需符合第40號決議規範之要求。詳細規範請詳見上文。學校必須獲得IYT Worldwide批准才能教授ICC課程。申請人必須:
至少滿16歲。
身心適合駕駛遊艇,尤其必須具備足夠的視力和聽力。
成功通過筆試或實務測驗或持有可接受的IYT Worldwide認證,證明具備遊艇駕駛必須能力。


ICC是否有效期?

ICC效期為五年。請參閱再認證規範。


ICC取消或撤銷

若持有人行為顯示其並未遵守ICC持有人應遵守之行為,IYT Worldwide得暫停或撤銷其ICC執照。此事將提交IYT Worldwide培訓委員會裁決。

重要注意事項:租賃經紀人會要求比ICC還高的資格,請注意!
過去幾年來,我們注意到許多租賃經紀人開始要求查看/驗證比ICC(國際能力執照)還高的航海資格。租賃公司要求客戶要能證明有能力操作價值40萬美元租賃船隻進行一週假期,畢竟ICC無法證明該能力。因此各位可以想像,經紀人在租賃前會想要確保船長具充足能力,可駕馭船隻。

ICC為能力水準認證,並非「課程」。事後看來,若我們規定必須要至少具備IYT初級船長或光船船長執照證明的情況下才能下單ICC執照,且應由持有上述資格或更高資格的申請人直接下單,也許IYT和IYT申請人會有更好待遇。
因此,我們強烈建議學校為想要獲得ICC執照者學員購買IYT資格認證及ICC資格認證,以免除租賃經紀人可能不接受其ICC的任何可能疑慮。
在某些情況下,申請人可能同時持有其國家資格認證和ICC,如此租賃經紀人可能會接受。IYT當然無權控制經紀人是否接受。我們認為最好的做法是安全起見,也請學校向學員提出此建議。


ICC

The International Certificate of Competency, commonly referred to as “ICC” is a certificate of competency, not necessarily a “course”. The ICC is a certificate confirming that an individual is competent to the level required to meet the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe Inland Water Committee (UNECE IWC) Resolution 40.

In 2013, IYT released “courses” to train to the level of competence for 10 Meter and 24 Meter named ICC <10m and ICC <24m. Now it is 2020 and in hindsight we recognise this was not an ideal decision because charter agencies have begun to ask for a base level certificate and not the ICC. We are encouraging candidates to take the base level course/s and gain that certificate instead of or in addition to the ICC. Please read all of the information below for information regarding the base level certificates.

Please note that each school must be approved by IYT Worldwide to offer the ICC to their students. Only IYT schools that have been audited or inspected and are in good standing with IYT can offer the ICC certification. We are happy to consider new school applications to offer this certificate.

Are you thinking of chartering in Europe? MAKE SURE YOU ARE QUALIFIED
IT IS WISE TO HOLD BOTH FLOTILLA SKIPPER (OR HIGHER) & THE ICC

In the past, if you were chartering in Europe, an International Certificate of Competency (ICC) may have been sufficient proof of your ability to safely operate a boat.

However, it has recently been brought to our attention that a number of European charter companies and insurance companies will not accept an ICC as sufficient proof to command a yacht for a one week bareboat charter (power or sail). These companies are insisting that the charterer should hold an IYT International Flotilla Skipper or IYT International Bareboat Skipper, power or sail (or equivalent qualification that is on their “approved” list).

The charter companies and insurance companies do not have a comfort level handing over an expensive yacht to someone who they feel is not sufficiently qualified to command it for a weeks duration.

Some customers have had their charters cancelled because they have only held an ICC.

However, some charter companies in Greece are rejecting the IYT International Flotilla and/or Bareboat Skipper as it notes the restriction of “daylight hours”. This restriction is applied as charter companies do not allow their boats to be operated after sundown. Chartered boats are expected to be at dock or anchored by sundown.

The charter companies’ response has been to insist on an ICC which does not state this restriction. So, bottom line, we recommend holding both Flotilla Skipper or higher as well as the ICC to avoid any issues when chartering.

It is imperative that you check with your charter company in advance of your charter to make sure that you hold the required qualifications.

The ICC is required for operators of most vessels on both inland and coastal waters in a large part of the European Union.

Candidates who successfully complete the International Flotilla or Bareboat Skipper course may be automatically awarded the 24M ICC provided the course was taken with a partner school approved to offer the 24M ICC.
Candidates who successfully complete the Small Powerboat & RIB Master – MCA Recognised course may be automatically awarded the 10M ICC. Schools that offer the Small Powerboat & RIB Master – MCA Recognised course will also be approved for the 10M ICC Certification so there will be no issue regarding the partner school chosen for the “RIB” course.

IYT’s ICC Government Recognitions

The 24M ICC is recignised by the British Maritime & Coastguard Agency (MCA).

The 24M ICC is also recognised by Transport Canada so that holders of the 24M ICC (Canadian Edition) will not require a Pleasure Craft Operator Card (PCOC) to operate a pleasure boat in Canada, provided the section on “Canadian Boating Requirements” has been completed. Holders of a current IYT 24M ICC can “upgrade” to the Canadian Edition by completing a short course and examination.

The 10M ICC is recognised by the British Maritime & Coastguard Agency (MCA).

ICC Preparation Course Available On Line (E-learning)

We are proud to announce that we now have an E-learning course available for students to study and execute theory examinations before proceeding to an authorised IYT Training Provider to undertake the written and practical examinations. To access these courses, register and receive your IYT account ID# and log in. ICC E-learning courses are available here once logged in.

What is an ICC (and CEVNI) & where is it required?

As you may be aware, it is now mandatory to hold a recognised International Certificate of Competency (ICC) if you wish to charter a boat in certain European countries. It is generally required for the inland and coastal waters of Mediterranean countries. In Northern Europe and Scandinavia the ICC is generally not required, but it is strongly advised to check with any European country that you wish to charter in before you leave.

The ICC is a product of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Resolution 40. The ICC provides documentary assurance from one government to another that the holder meets the levels of competence laid down in Resolution 40.

 

Who May Receive An IYT ICC Based On Resolution 40?

In accordance with UNECE Resolution 40 (Revision 4), citizens and residents of countries (listed below), that are signatories to Resolution 40, will be obliged to obtain an ICC from their own national issuing authority and not from IYT (with the exception of the United Kingdom and Latvia, see below). The only exception for IYT to issue ICCs to citizens of these countries, is if the applicant can provide proof of residency* in a country not on this list. For example: an Austrian National living in Spain or Greece that can provide “proof of residency” in Spain or Greece would be allowed to receive an ICC from IYT.

*Proof of residency (examples) Utility bill (electric or gas), Property tax bill, Telephone bill, Insurance bill, IYT can issue ICCs to any other country’s citizens that are not listed below.

As of May 2016 the following countries have adopted resolution 40.

Austria
Belarus
Belgium
Bulgaria
Croatia
Czech Republic
Finland
Germany
Hungary
Ireland
Latvia**
Lithuania
Luxembourg
Netherlands
Norway
Poland
Romania
Serbia
Slovakia
South Africa
Switzerland
Ukraine
United Kingdom***
**The government of Latvia has given written permission for IYT to issue ICCs to their own nationals and residents

***IYT has been authorised to issue ICC’s to United Kingdom Nationals and Residents for the past 18 years which are issued on behalf of the British Maritime & Coastguard Agency (MCA). Reference: UNECE Resolution 40 document https://www.unece.org/fileadmin/DAM/trans/doc/2015/sc3wp3/Guidelines_to_Resolution_No._40_e.pdf

Note: The list of UNECE member states that have accepted Resolution 40 is subject to change without notice therefore a person’s eligibility can change during the period the ICC is valid for. Should this be the case, the certificate holder must notify IYT and surrender the certificate. If the certificate holder cannot satisfactorily demonstrate his or her continued eligibility when the certificate expires it will not be renewed by IYT.

 

ICC Endorsements & Vessel Sizes

The Endorsements may be:

(Power -24m) for any power driven vessel up to 24 metres.
(Power -10m) for any power driven vessel up to 10 metres.
(Sail – 24m & Power 10m ) Sail vessel up to 24 metres. (Must include Power 10m for operating tender to and from shore).
(PWC) for personal water craft.
(Coastal waters) for coastal passages only.
(Coastal and inland) for use in the inland waterways of Europe as well as coastal. A CEVNI exam must be successfully completed. See below for more details.

 

What vessel sizes are covered?

For Sailing Vessels

The ICC Sail <24m, Power <10m covers sailing vessels <24 meters and power <10 meters. The power <10m is included as most sailboats have small dinghies for going to and from shore.

To gain this certificate the candidate must do the IYT International Crew & Flotilla/Bareboat Skipper Sail course (modules 1 – 11 and 13 – 25 in the IYT Recreational Programme contained in the “International Boating & Sailing Passport”). The candidate must either hold a recognised VHF Marine Communications Qualification or must do IYT’s module 12 which is the IYT VHF/SRC Marine Communications Course.

Note that the online ICC course includes all of the above mentioned modules, 1 – 25 which includes VHF/SRC.

For Power Vessels

the ICC certificate is based on which course you undertake as outlined below.

If you wish to operate a power vessel <24m, please do as stated above for sailing vessels (except of course take the power course).

If you wish to operate a power vessel <10m, please take the IYT/MCA Small Powerboat & RIB Master course. After successful completion of this course, you will be eligible to receive the ICC <10m Power.

 

How do I obtain an ICC?

Most IYT Partner Schools are approved to offer the ICC certification to their students. However, you should verify this with the school where you choose to train or on our website. The schools who are approved to offer this certification are determined by IYT. Please remember that candidates must meet the requirements outlined above regarding Resolution 40.

There are two ways to obtain an ICC. By holding an acceptable IYT Worldwide qualification as mentioned in the next section “Which IYT Certificates of Competency are recognised for obtaining an ICC without the need for an examination?”, OR, by attending one of these qualifying courses listed below with an IYT partner school approved to issue ICCs to their students.

If you hold an acceptable qualifying IYT Worldwide certificate please follow these instructions to obtain an ICC: (Note – See Resolution 40 requirements above to determine if you are eligible to receive an IYT ICC or if you must obtain from your own national issuing authority and not from IYT).

* An 24M ICC can be awarded based on a Flotilla Skipper certificate; however, it is recommended candidates gain a Bareboat Skipper certificate.

Please note that training and examinations for the qualifications listed above must have been undertaken at an ICC approved facility and you must meet eligibility requirements outlined above regarding Resolution 40.

 

Who may obtain an ICC

IYT Worldwide has had approval from the M.C.A. (Maritime and Coastguard Agency of Great Britain) for many years to issue ICCs to United Kingdom passport holders and persons of other nationalities provided they are eligible under Resolution 40. See above. The school must be approved by IYT Worldwide to instruct the ICC course. The applicant must:

Be 16 years of age or older.
Be physically and mentally fit to operate a pleasure craft, and in particular, must have sufficient powers of vision and hearing.
Have successfully passed a written and practical examination or prove the necessary competence for pleasure craft operation by holding an acceptable IYT Worldwide certificate.

 

Is there a period of validity for an ICC?

The ICC is valid for a period of five years. See instructions for revalidation

Cancellation or Withdrawal of an ICC
IYT Worldwide may suspend or withdraw an ICC where the holder has by some action demonstrated that he or she has not complied with the conduct demanded of a holder of an ICC. The matter will be presented before the IYT Worldwide Training Board for adjudication.

Important Notice: Charter Brokers are asking for qualifications higher than ICC – Please be aware
Over the past few years, it has come to our attention that a large number of charter brokers are asking to see/verify a higher nautical qualification other than the ICC (International Certificate of Competency). The charter companies are asking for proof that a client is capable of handling a $400,000 charter boat for a weeks vacation, as the ICC does not prove this capability. As you can imagine, a broker would want to be sure that a skipper is fully capable of handling their vessels before renting.

The ICC is a certificate that based on one’s level of competency. It is not a “course”. In hindsight, IYT and IYT candidates would have been better served had we not allowed the ICC to be ordered as a qualification without proof of, at minimum, an IYT Flotilla or Bareboat Skipper Certificate, but ordered directly by candidates who hold these qualifications or higher.

Therefore, we highly recommend that schools purchase the IYT qualification as well as the ICC qualification for their candidates who want an ICC. This will eliminate any concerns of their ICC not being accepted by charter brokers.

In some instances, a candidate may hold their national qualification plus an ICC, which may be accepted by charter brokers. IYT obviously has no control over what brokers will or will not accept. We believe it is better to be on the safe side and ask the schools to make this recommendation to their candidates.
