Why do training consultants need insurance?


Well-intentioned advice fails

You’re brought in by a banking client to train their staff to comply with the latest government regulations. The training goes well, but you fail to mention an important detail. As a result, the employees overlook a crucial step, and your banking client is put at risk of regulatory investigation.

Your client decides to take your business to court. With professional indemnity insurance for your training consultancy, there’s assistance with legal fees and compensation pay-outs, if you’re ordered to pay them.

Water-damaged equipment

You’re visiting a potential client’s office when you’re introduced to staff at their desks. As you raise your hand in an informal wave, you accidentally knock over a glass of water. You’re quick to react but the water damages a laptop, breaking it and losing the data stored on it.

While this was unintentional, the prospective client could still take you to court for damages. If your training consultancy business is facing legal action, public liability insurance could help to cover the costs of proceedings and potential pay-outs.

An employee injury

One of your junior training consultants has been working overtime. They deliver apprenticeship guidance sessions online and are spending long hours in the office. An incorrect desk setup sees them develop a repetitive strain injury (RSI). They decide to take you to court for compensation.

If you employ staff at your training consultancy, you could be legally required to hold employers’ liability insurance (external link). This can help to cover compensation if an employee takes legal action over a workplace injury such as an RSI.

What insurance is available for training consultants?


Insurance for your training consultancy can include other cover types. From employers’ liability insurance, likely to be required by law (external link) if you employ anyone else, to protection for portable equipment and your office contents.

Very good and reassuring to know you have the right cover for the right price.

Can a potential client demand I have public liability before I train them?
