** It has become quite common for charter companies in the Mediterranean to request the ICC.
** Both SAS and the RYA recommend that people wishing to go cruising around Europe and the Mediterranean obtain an ICC.
** SAS has been authorised to issue the ICC.
The prerequisites are :
1. The person must be at least 16 years of age.
2. The person must be a South African national or a South African resident with a valid South African ID document.
3. The person must hold an appropriate SAS or SAMSA Certificate of Competence. For SAS certificates the minimum requirement is a SAS Day Skipper Certificate of Competence, and the ICC issued is for power and sailing vessels <24m in coastal waters.
For SAMSA certificates the minimum requirement and the corresponding ICC is given in the table below :
| SAMSA Certificate | International Certificate |
| Day Skipper Category C <9m | Power Vessels <9m in coastal waters |
| Day Skipper Category B <9m | |
| Coastal Skipper < 9m | |
| Skipper Offshore < 9m | |
| Day Skipper Category C > 9m[<100GT] | Power Vessels <24m in coastal waters |
| Day Skipper Category B >9m[<100GT] | |
| Coastal Skipper >9m[<100GT] | |
| Skipper Offshore >9m[<100GT] |
** There are ICC certificates for inland waters and coastal waters.
** SAS only issues the ICC for coastal waters because ICC for inland waters requires detailed knowledge of the European CEVNI regulations for inland waters.
** The International Certificate of Competence issued by SAS is valid for 5 years.
