First aid trainer insurance

Tailored cover for first aid trainers and instructors

If you deliver first aid training in the community or to employees or volunteers, our first aid training insurance can give you the back-up you need.

We offer first aid instructors two core covers due to the type of work you do: public liability insurance covers you if a member of the public blames you for injury or damage, and professional indemnity insurance protects you if a client accuses you of making a mistake in your work.

You can tailor your first aid trainers policy to cover other risks too, adding business buildings insurance if you have business premises, and employers’ liability insurance if you employ any staff. You can also opt to add business equipment insurance to cover the items that help you deliver your training.

Cover from £6.79 a month, get insured in minutes. (10% of direct debit customers repay their annual policy in 10 monthly payments of £6.79 or less across all our trades insured. Based on data from 1 July - 31 December 2020, for comparison only. Cancellation charges may apply, please refer to our full terms & conditions.)

What insurance do first aid trainers need?

These are the two core covers that we offer to first aid instructors, with some claim examples to help you get to grips with how they work:

• Public liability insurance protects you if a member of the public blames you for injury or damage. For example, you’re delivering first aid training and one of the trainees trips over your equipment and suffers an injury. If they make a successful compensation claim against you, your public liability insurance could cover the legal fees and compensation payments, up to the limit of your policy.
• Professional indemnity insurance covers you if you make a mistake in your work or give faulty advice that causes your client to lose money. For example, you provide the wrong training and a trainee is unable to perform first aid as a result, leading to a compensation claim. Your professional indemnity insurance could cover the legal fees and compensation payments, up to the limit of your policy.
