CEVNI Test
CEVNI stands for Code Européen des Voies de Navigation Intérieure. It is the code governing navigation on the interconnected European inland waterways. Anyone requiring an ICC valid for inland waters must pass the CEVNI Test which can be arranged through Live the Adventure Ltd.
International Certificate of Competence
It
is a requirement in most European countries that boaters hold the
International Certificate of Competence, (or the ICC as it is more
commonly known), when using both the coastal and inland waterways. It is
essentially the nearest we have to an international driving license for
boaters and often required if hiring vessels abroad. This can be taken
as part of a level 2 course.
