Teachers/Instructors Insurance Alternatives

If you are teaching publicly, part of the risk management is to have insurance. The

information presented below is for the interest of members. Remember that all insurers require

you to comply with their specified conditions so that statistically they will make a profit. If

you are non-compliant, you may not be protected even if you paid your premium. Also, no

insurance can protect you for illegal activities.

 

TCAA provides the information below for you to make your own decision about whether any of these insurance fits your circumstances. TCAA's information is not to be contrued as advice. Remember - your insurance is a matter between yourself and the insurer; TCAA is not a party to the actual contract.
