What is Corporate Trainer Insurance?
Corporate trainer insurance is coverage designed to protect you from paying for claims related to your advice or business. You teach the skills professionals need to do their jobs well, so responsibility may fall on you when mistakes happen.
Professional development instructor insurance is a financial safety net for your training services and harm or property damage they may cause to others. From insuring your eLearning tech to covering you through tricky contract lawsuits, liability insurance is designed to help you thrive no matter what.
Who Needs Corporate Trainer Insurance?
Corporate trainer insurance is a perfect fit for anyone who teaches job skills. If you educate outside of a traditional classroom (whether in-person or online), you need insurance to cover your sessions as much as any business consultant or K–12 teacher. In fact, your training combines liability risks from both of those jobs.
Whether you’re teaching home inspectors to spot foundation problems, leading a virtual diversity, equity, and inclusion seminar, or conducting a field workshop on safety regulation compliance, you need the protection of insurance to guard your services and reputation.
These are just a few of the educators who can benefit from professional development instructor insurance:
- Continuing Education Teachers
- CPE Instructors
- eLearning Specialists
- Talent Development Specialists
- Workplace Trainers
- Learning and Development Specialists
- Training and Development Coordinators
- Talent Development Managers
- Employee Development Specialists
- Training Consultants
- Health and Safety Inspection Instructors
- Home Inspection Instructors
- Real Estate Appraisal Instructors
What’s Covered in Corporate Trainer Insurance?
It pays to be covered in these key areas for professional development instructors and workplace trainers of all kinds, including individual trainers and training business or franchise owners.
General Liability Coverage
General liability insurance protects you from paying if someone is physically hurt or their property gets damaged because of your training.
Imagine you accidentally scuff a conference room floor while moving furniture for a seminar or a student falls from a ladder during a home inspection exercise — general liability insurance is designed to cover expenses like hospital bills, repairs, and lawsuit costs.
Professional Liability Coverage (Errors and Omissions)
This coverage is designed to guard your expert advice, protecting you if things you do (errors) or don’t do (omissions) harm someone else.
If you couldn’t deliver all the training modules you promised and it cost the client revenue, or a trainee failed their certification exam and blamed your course, professional liability insurance is your financial safety net.
Products-Completed Operations Coverage
Products-completed operations is protection from claims due to your finished training or products you use to train.
Let’s say a client takes your real estate appraisal class and later makes an appraisal mistake that costs their client thousands. They claim negligent training was the cause and sue you for the losses. Products-completed operations can cover you even after training is over, shielding you from paying legal defense or settlement fees out of pocket.
Cyber Liability Coverage
Small businesses like corporate training services attract hackers because they often have less security than big companies. If cybercriminals want your client’s sensitive data, they might go after you first.
Collecting and storing client records such as credit card numbers, names, and birth dates makes you legally responsible for them. Cyber liability insurance is an add-on coverage that can protect you financially in data breach lawsuits if you click on a phishing email or your cloud storage gets hacked.
Damage to Premises Rented to You
Some trainers rent conference rooms, studios, or training centers. If you or a client cause damage, you’re on the hook to pay for it without insurance.
Imagine that plugging multiple devices into an old electrical outlet overheats the wiring and causes an office fire, or a trainee spills coffee all over the building’s beige carpet. Damage to Premises Rented to You could pay for repair or replacement costs.
Personal and Advertising Injury
It’s easy to make advertising mistakes without meaning to hurt anyone. That’s why corporate trainers need personal and advertising injury insurance designed to cover legal fees in cases involving libel, slander, invasion of privacy, copyright infringement, and more.
During a recorded session, you made a negative comment about your client’s competitor. The seminar gets posted on social media, and the competing firm sues you. Or, imagine you used someone else’s photos in your course marketing without thinking to ask permission. A copyright infringement lawsuit could financially drain your business without insurance.
Equipment and Materials Coverage (Inland Marine)
Damaged or stolen supplies are always a nasty surprise — and usually not one you budgeted for. Equipment and Materials Coverage is an opt-in coverage available to reimburse you for replacements or repairs.
You get into a car accident on the way to a seminar that destroys the projector, laptop, and presentation aids in your back seat. Replacing them out of pocket could cost you hundreds or thousands. If insurance covers them, what could have been a serious problem is handled stress-free.
Additional Insureds
Additional insureds are people or organizations your policy can also cover if you make a mistake. For example, a private school or corporation you contract with might ask you to add them to your policy as an additional insured in case they’re named in a lawsuit against you.
Add as many additional insureds as you want to your Insurance Canopy policy, free of charge. Just add them during checkout or anytime later from your user dashboard.
Sexual Abuse & Molestation (SAM) Liability Coverage
SAM liability pays for your defense if you’re wrongfully accused of sexual misconduct.
Imagine you approach a student in your training seminar to review their work on a computer. You have to stand close to see the small type and accidentally brush their arm. The trainee misinterprets your proximity as a sexual advance and sues you. SAM liability is designed to help cover attorney fees, settlements, and other court costs — because the last thing you should have to worry about right now is your wallet.
Insurance Can Save You Thousands
Your expert guidance gives others the tools to succeed — doesn’t that advice deserve to be protected? Corporate trainer insurance offers priceless peace of mind in situations like these.
A cyberattack leaks the personal data of participants in your online course: $100,000
You accidentally break the client’s high-end conference equipment during an onboarding session: $12,000
A former home inspection trainee incorrectly assesses the electrical systems at a property, resulting in a fire. They blame your instruction: $75,000
Get covered instantly.
You incorrectly interpret a new safety regulation, leading to non-compliance fines for your client: $30,000
A family emergency keeps you from delivering all training modules by the deadline. The client sues you for breach of contract: $35,000
