How long is an ICC valid for?

It's amazing how you can suddenly become incompetent every 5 years. Do we have to renew driving licences every 5 years--- well, for heavy goods, yes, but not for driving a 100mph car.
Funny old world!

I hope one day we will need to pass our driving tests every five years, there are some complete eejits on the roads.

That's an interesting attitude. So basically you're asking a professional organization to provide an internationally recognised endorsement of your ability to safely navigate a vessel based solely on your word that you can do it? If what you say is right I'm actually quite disappointed they capitulated so easily, it rather undermines the value of the document and the hard work the rest of us put in to obtain it.

Tuff. Put it down to experience...................which I have

That's how ICCs worked at first, wasn't it? You just needed a club committee member to sign the form saying you were a jolly good chep and that was that.

I thought I'd update this thread after finally getting round to phoning them.
In 2006 I took a RYA Powerboat Level II course, and in 2012 I converted this to a powerboat ICC.
In 2015 I took the ICC assessment/test thingy and updated my ICC with the sailing qualification.
Now, in 2017, the ICC (Issued in 2012) has expired, and for some reason the sailing addition has as well.

All rather simple and logical after all. ICC is easier in the UK than many countries.

As it was explained to me - the ICC was issued in 2012, and it has now expired. The sailing part of it was an addition which expires along with the ICC.

So I have to renew it, then both are valid for another five years. I hope.

All rather simple in the end. Getting an ICC is a lot simpler in the UK than many countries.

That's more or less how I got mine. I needed one for a holiday charter, so 'phoned a YM instructor that I used to race against. Got one for the ex as well because I told him that she'd outsail him too. Shocking abuse of the system.

But then - what a system - I did PB level 2 in 2005 and the RYA have no record of that, as other posters have found.

I did Yachtmaster theory in 1984 and the RYA have no record of that either. Disgraceful.
