ICC "Coastal Waters"

[Mark-1]

There are two signatures required. One by the tester....I know a Yachtmaster Istructor can, possibly a Cruising Instructot too...but the countersigned is by those you mention. There is no cheapo shortcut. Bye bye bad old days where there was no monitoring of standards. Hurrah.

It doesn't make any mention of any requirements for the assessor and it says the the club doesn't have to be an RTC.

Maybe they forgot to note down some additional requirements in which case feel free to link to them.

(It's irrelevant to the question but "cheapo" is a very strange term to use. I think we can all agree that sailing should be as accessible and cheap as possible.)

It does have to be an affiliated club authorised to conduct the assessment though - about - I would imagine part of that authorisation sets out who can do the assessment

When I completed my PB Level 2 and was submitting the pass certificate online, once it was submitted the RYA site then asked me if I wanted to apply for an ICC, as I'm working my way through the CEVNI regs just now I declined and will submit my application for the ICC for Coastal and inland waters at the same time.

It does say that the Club has to be RYA affiliated.

If you prefer, 'use shortcutting the requirements'.

To resolve any, any ambiguities on who can assess an ICC test, simply send an email to training@rya.org.uk

It would be good of you to post their response to clean it up for everyone, ta.

It says authorised but I used their search for authorised clubs and all three clubs I'm a member of came up and I'm certain at least one of them has no specific authorisation. So it reads as though any affiliated club is fine.

The only clue that isn't the case is the Reference Number. It's not clear what that is - I assumed it was the affiliated club reference but maybe it's an examiner reference.

My gut feel is there's no requirement for the guy doing the assesment to have any Examiner qualifications, just as it always used to be - it would be somewhat odd if they a) Forgot to mention that and b) allowed random flag officers of clubs that aren't RTCs to sign it off but required a qualified assessor who just happened to be in the club to do it. Having said that I've got a vague recollection of the rules changing perhaps 15 years or so ago.

I gave you a link in #24.

I think their search is just broken - if you look at, eg, the record for Sunsail they're specifically shown as an ICC Test Centre:

Find a club or centre | Where's My Nearest | RYA

Where random affiliated clubs are not.

Thanks I've found that PDF now.

That's the second reference to "ICC Test Centre Guidance" that cropped up today, I guess it's all in there.

(Also, coincidentally, the second time in three days I've sniggered at the "Tender Operator" course. )
