'This is the best and clearest CEVNI Test website I found....' - recent successful student.

'you will be pleased to hear that I passed both parts first time - in fact I got 100% in each,
which is probably due largely to your excellent CEVNI signals card'

You need an RYA CEVNI Test certificate, with an International Certificate of Competence (ICC), for navigation on inland waterways in most of continental Europe. This is the European inland waterways version of Colregs, with many additions to symbols, signals, lights, buoyage, rules and signage. (See down this page). Inland waterways in Europe carry large volumes of commercial traffic, and the navigation rules are more extensive than on the sea.

About the CEVNI Test

The RYA CEVNI on line test is a short multiple choice exam. Part 1 has 15 questions on buoyage and signs, and Part 2 has 15 questions about lights, shapes and sound signals. You must score 11 correct answers in each section.

Each question has a time limit of 20 seconds, long enough if you know the subject.

Make sure you do the RYA Practice Tests, they are very good, scores are not recorded and will confirm when you are ready for the CEVNI test.

The CEVNI European Code for Inland Waterways - free download - full English text of the UNECE Regulations, with all the rules signs and signals. Too long and too detailed to read it all, but it is there if you want it.

The following chart and books are better and clearer for the leisure boater: The Skysail CEVNI signs chart is the only available view of the many signs and signals in the CEVNI regulations in an easy reference format.

A written test here in High Wycombe is £20.00, with discounts for groups - contact as above.

An ICC is often considered as the international 'boat driving licence'. It is often required by countries/charter operators if you wish to use your own craft abroad.

It is available from the Royal Yachting Association, to UK residents and UK citizens, and nationals from countries outside Europe, including North America. The lower age limit is 16 years. The ICC needs to have a CEVNI endorsement if you wish to take your boat on inland waterways in Europe (not the UK).

Small craft - under 20m in length, except ferries, vessels licensed to carry more than 12 passengers, and tugs. In France the limit is 20 tons displacement.

Upstream vessel - is proceeding up the river to its source, or ascending in a lock.

Downstream vessel - is proceeding away from the source of a river, or descending in a lock. (Take care with these, it’s the direction of travel, not the relative position).

Vessels with vertical blue lights or inverted cones are carrying cargoes of materials of varying levels of hazard:

In addition, there are many signs and lights describing hazards, mooring restrictions, facilities, safe areas, safe transits, bridges, prohibitions etc - on my CEVNI signals chart and in the books.

Lots of excellent practical information on France - waterways details, locks, food, wine, rules, safe navigation http://www.french-waterways.com/ l
