When it comes to the age of your clients and your cover for coaching, you are covered up to the level that you are qualified or experienced. Provided that there are no age restrictions on your qualifications, there is no age restriction for who you can train.
For example, if your qualification states that you can only coach persons over 16 years of age, this is what you are covered for.
If your qualification does not have any restrictions on who you can teach, then you are covered to coach all ages provided that the client is old enough to follow your instructions in training.
Please keep in mind that the clients still need to be old enough to follow your instructions so we would not be able to provide any cover for liability towards infants or babies who are not able to follow your instruction of the class.
Please be aware that for scuba diving coaches, you cannot coach any persons under 8 years of age as stated in the endorsements section of our Insurance Booklet.
