Does anyone have their own insurance policy? If 'yes' which company / costs
Next week i'm going to be employed by a school as an additional instructor, however the school has asked for my own insurance policy documents.( Fair enough)
Any help would be of great assistance

1969jma, Are you BASI qualified ? My understanding is that you can be covered by them. I'm sure someone in the know will be along shortly.

Snowsport England do it as do BASI you would need to get equivalence/recognition from them for your quals though. Quick google search of public liability should get you going - most outdoor teachers can get their own just check with the company

1969jma, not sure about CSIA, sorry. Why will the ski school you're working for not cover you?

Q. does the CSIA level 2 actually entitle you to legally teach in whatever country you are off to?

You know it makes sense.

1969jma, who is your employer going to be, and are they able to employ L2s in Austria? I would check with the local authority in the region you will be working in (the rules differ in different parts of Austria) that you are definitely legally able to work, as if not no liability insurance will cover you.

1969jma, in that case I'd push to get insurance covered by your employer. I'm no expert, but I think it will be difficult / expensive to get liability cover for an individual teaching part time

It's not cheap, but they do the best ski / mountain insurance going.
You can add professional cover, but it doesn't include public liability
