Experienced and knowledgeable instructors
I have attended several courses at First Class Sailing, online and presential. I have always found really experienced and knowledgeable instructors, making the courses real-life oriented and useful for both beginners and experienced seamen. In all cases the expected content was exceeded and the attendees we had the opportunity to discuss and comment.

The Code Europeen des Voies de la Navigation Interieure (aka the European Code for Navigation on Inland Waterways, or CEVNI) is the core set of rules and regulations for navigating rivers, canals and lakes in mainland Europe.
If you want to explore these stunning waterways for yourself, you'll need a CEVNI endorsement on your International Certificate of Competence (ICC) - this will indicate your awareness of the code and your ability to captain a boat safely amongst the boating traffic of these routes.
First Class Sailing makes this possible with the online CEVNI test.

Complete Breakdown
Where can you go with CEVNI
The CEVNI test will confirm your knowledge of the code, including signs and markings, dealing with traffic, communicating via sound signals, berthing, environmental considerations, and other rules of the road.
The test is taken online, so you can take it wherever and whenever you like. You can practice as many times as you like before you take the test for real, and you'll be given the result of your attempt as soon as you're done.
Where can you go with CEVNI
With the CEVNI endorsement on your ICC, you're free to roam the inland waterways of mainland Europe. It's ideal if your idea of a great holiday is drifting lazily along the gentle currents, taking in the natural beauty of your surroundings.
The south of France is where you'll find some of the most beautiful water routes. The Canal du Midi, which runs from Toulouse to the Mediterranean, is a popular destination for many sailors looking to get away from it all.
As mentioned above, you’ll need an International Certificate of Competence alongside your CEVNI qualification - you can find out more about acquiring this certificate on our ICC page.
