Instructor Insurance
Professional liability coverage for your teaching team
100% Pass-Through Pricing
We don't profit from your insurance costs
Every penny of insurance premium goes directly to our underwriters — BMABA doesn't take a cut. Insurance is typically the largest cost in your renewal, but it reflects the genuine risk being underwritten, not our margins. We work hard to negotiate the best rates and coverage quality on your behalf.
BMABA CIC is authorised and regulated by the FCA as an Introducer Appointed Representative (IAR) attached to FCA registration number 308626.
Assign cover after membership starts. Please make sure you assign any cover to your team within 7 days of membership commencing.

Insurance Fees Go Direct to AXA
Insurance premiums are paid directly to our insurer, AXA PLC, and do not benefit BMABA CIC. We often incur a loss passing these on at the lowest possible price points.
100% Re-invested Into You
BMABA CIC is a registered and regulated not-for-profit organisation, and a licensed Social Enterprise. Every penny of membership fees is re-invested into our team, platform, and mission. Zero external funding — always 100% self-funded by members like you.
Price-Match Guarantee
Find the same level of cover elsewhere for less? We'll price match — or give you a free membership. Learn More →
This Isn't Just Insurance or a Piece of Paper
Your membership unlocks a complete ecosystem — licensing, governance, resources, tools, technology, support and everything else, all rolled into one powerful package.
