How does different teams, including: battery switch selection, bilge pumps, cabin lights, kitchen butane / propane, heads and water pumps, along with the general standards of cleanliness. You will learn a very basic theory of how a motor diesel and maintenance procedures like checking the oil level, oil change, filter change, ensuring the flow of engine cooling water and how to change drivers. You will be taught how to maintain a good lookout and effective, must be maintained at all times while underway. You take a look basic navigation, course plotting, nautical charts, safe passage conditions, tides and currents and weather forecasts.

You will learn how to secure the ship for sea, and then get out of a berth, once started will be carried out the functions of a job observation, learn to hoist the sails, and at the same time steering the boat course and go through the routines of jibe. You anchor the boat and go through man overboard drill recovery.
Module 4 is theoretical and will be seen in the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions or "rules of the road." In particular look lights, shapes and sounds. You will look at some more sail handling techniques, there is more work with charts and compass and to conclude you take a look at marine customs, etiquette and good manners.
The next practical module includes security controls and accessories to look through Hull, warning lights and engine alarms and emergency fuel cut. You will learn seamanship covered with more routine docking and mooring. A job more sail, bending, lifting, lowering, reefing mainsail, handling sheets, lines, halyards, outhauls and sail trim.

The next practical module focuses on security, including a briefing it is due to crew members when they join the ship and looks at the kitchen area, which if not used correctly can be a danger to all those on board. The rest of the section is devoted to boat handling and develops the skills learned at the International Recreational Crew Certificate.
Back to the theory in the form below with a look at the basic first aid. More work is done with the International Regulations for preventing collisions. Finally, take a look further at marine customs, customs, and today more and more legal requirements.

In this section concludes with an assessment of theoretical knowledge and practical skills acquired.
It has now reached a level that entitles the Certificate International Competition or the ICC. It is suggested that the captains of the vessels are required to conclude this by some European countries. Never been asked for mine clearance the authorities do not know of anyone. It is also suggested that some companies require before allowing a letter from a boat. Once again I have not encountered this in practice.
The following three modules form the International Bareboat Skipper Certificate and looks for the first time to take charge of a vessel and the necessary controls on the hull and rigging, machinery and systems, tools, safety equipment, spare parts, tools, fuel, water and provisions. It is seen in the tides and currents, and what they cause. You will learn how to use tide tables and gain an understanding primary and secondary ports. There are some more chartwork that includes determining the status and chart a way forward to counteract a current. The section concludes with a look at the responsibilities of the master, their communication with the delegation of the crew.
On the practical side will develop sailing skills with more general deck work, ropes, knots, splices, care and use of the lines. There are more work-handling vessels, including anchoring, docking, mooring, handling in confined areas and handling with currents.
In this section concludes with the module 16 and includes a look at the time and weather information sources, personal observations, weather patterns, land and sea breezes, various cloud formations, rain and fog. You will learn pilotage. There is a deep look at the passage planning including pilot books, almanacs, the planning considerations for passage, coastal passages, passage strategy, port regulations, pilotage plans. Finally, we will take a closer look depth in the International Regulations for preventing collisions.
