Which IYT Certificates of Competency are recognized as qualifying licenses for obtaining an International Certificate of Competency (ICC) without the need for an examination?


If you hold one of the following IYT certificates of competency (list below) AND the course was undertaken at an ICC approved facility, you may obtain a "Coastal" ICC without need for an examination. Please check the school's profile page on our website here if you are unsure of the school's approval for ICC.  

If you wish to have the ICC endorsed for navigating inland waters you must take the CEVNI exam.  


  • To do this you must go to an IYT school approved to offer the ICC and undertake the exam. The school must place the order for certification thus verifying successful completion.
  • Alternatively you may take the CEVNI EU Inland Waterways Endorsement -eLearning course and email your completion certificate to IYT Support support@iytworld.com and our office can issue your coastal and inland water ICC endorsement 
Please also see this article for more details regarding who is eligible to obtain IYT's ICC in accordance with UNECE Resolution 40.
