Refresher for ICC Theory Exam

Exam - 10th April ( 18.00 - 20.00 )
Max 10-12 people.
This is not so much a course as a revision session. There is an assumption that candidates are already good sailors of cruising boats with experience, and just need to âbrush up.â That said, you can do the theory course if you are familiar with Collision Regs and buoyage and associated topics but have simply not used any of this for a long time. It is all covered on the day.
