Why standard Ski Insurance is not enough!
A common question asked by those searching for a ski instructor course cover! Here is a breakdown of why a standard winter sports policy would not cover you for a course.
- The main thing here is curtailment cover while doing the course. Ski instructor courses last from 5 to 14 weeks and cost anything between £5,000 to £15,000. Should you be injured within the course duration and cannot complete it ( but you have already paid for it ), then you can claim back part or all (if it is a cancellation claim )
- Most standard winter sports policies will only cover you for recreational skiing on piste; when taking part in Ski instructor courses, you will learn to instruct in all ski genres and will spend some of the course off-piste skiing, with intense ski training and avalanche awareness learning.
- Believe it or not, ski instructor courses are in one of the higher categories when getting travel insurance coverage; this is because you are learning to teach others how to ski, these may be beginner skiers, and you are also skiing in a group with other people learning how to ski instruct, which leads to a higher risk of an injury happening.
- These courses are pretty intense. You cannot just stay at the chalet for a few hours before heading to ski. You must be at the course at 9 am and often do not finish until 5 pm.
Does The Policy cover my prepaid course Fees?
Our policy is designed explicitly for Ski Instructor courses and the fees that come with them. We know it's not a cheap process; this policy covers Cancellation and Curtailment up to £5,000 when taking Parts A and B cover.
Cancellation: If you were to fall sick or get injured before your trip / Instructor Course, and you were no longer able to travel, this would cover up to £5,000 for any pre-paid course fees, Flight, and Accommodation that come with most ski instructor course inclusive packages.
Curtailment: If you were to fall sick or get injured during the course, and could no longer continue your ski instructor course.
If your course fees are higher than the £5,000 cover, then we have additional Top Up Cancellation cover, which will cover up to £50,000.
