As a higher education consultant, having proper insurance protection is vital when providing advisory services to universities, colleges, training providers and more. Our tailored policies can shield you if a client suffers financial loss from your consultancy work.
For example, you could be liable if flawed reporting leads to a college losing out on vital skills funding from the government.
As a consultant in this sector, your specialised reports and recommendations directly inform organisations on improving services, meeting compliance standards and securing financing for new courses and facilities.
However, oversights or errors in your work could lead to loss of vital funding, penalties for non-compliance or even litigation if you fail to highlight serious issues. Insurance covers any loss claims stemming from your alleged professional negligence.

Our higher education consultant insurance covers professionals who offer guidance, training and advisory services to organisations involved in post-school education, vocational skills development and academic learning programs. This includes:
Typical risks include inaccurate reviews overlooking important issues, flawed advice leading to poor decisions or insufficient bid documentation preventing funding awards. This could negatively impact client operations and lead to negligence claims.
Our higher education consultant policies can cover:
Professional indemnity insurance covers financial loss claims from education clients because of poor advice, insufficient reporting or negligence. For example, a flawed skills gap analysis overlooking shortages in key growth areas leads to a college launching courses less relevant to local job markets.
Public liability insurance covers claims for injury and property damage that occurs when you visit campuses and other sites to gather data. For example, knocking over a precious piece of IT equipment during an inspection.
Legal expenses insurance provides specialist legal advice and covers legal costs if you face civil claims or complaints related to your consultancy work. For example, allegations of inaccurate quality audits or insufficient policy recommendations.
You can add equipment insurance as a separate cover to cover loss, theft or damage to devices like laptops, tablets, cameras and testing kits that you use to conduct higher education consultancy work.
We can extend your core policy to protect any freelance consultants, researchers or auditors working on your behalf. This ensures anyone operating under your consultancy brand is shielded from claims.
We offer varying cover levels to choose from to fit your specific business needs. Simply fill out our quick online form for your quote.
