Insurance after day skipper theory. (just for info). icc ?

[hullabaloo]

I decided to take my day skipper theory and practical a few months ago,
I waited for the insurance renewal to arrive before showing my hand,
I then rang the insurance company and told them I now had qualifications,
she said she could only list one, I chose theory and it reduced my insurance by £215.
To some this maybe expected. but to others pondering on taking the day skipper exam. go for it, it will pay for its self in the first year.

I do have one question though:
if I got the icc through the RYA, would this reduce the insurance more ?

£215 is huge, well done. Can I ask what the price was before the reduction. What boat do you have? and last one what insurance company or broker?
Apologies for being a bit up front with questions

You answered that yourself
''she said she could only list one''

no I didn't,
the question is would it be more beneficial to say icc ? or theory ?

Fairline targa 44gt renwal is £1607
last year i paid £1392 .
and the renewal after day skipper is £1392,
all the above is with towergate,
but gjw direct have quoted £1100 .

Interesting to know which insurer. I've been with Y then Topsail for years, never been offered a reduction for Day Skipper anything. Need YM Coastal or Offshore practical. The YM Theory counted for nowt.

EDIT Sorry seen above post .. must type faster (or go to specsavers)

This was with Towergate,
from here on it will not be seen, it was only because I waited for renewal the before I revealed my qualifications.
