Insurance for training course?

I'm about to signup for a cornering course. Its not a track day but its not on the public road either. Therefore my insurance won't cover me. I have a friend who did an experience day at silverstone a few years ago. She had a separate bill for insurance.

How does that kind of insurance work? Do I speak to my insurer about a blanket - all year upgrade, or single event insurance? Is there a specialist broker or is it just not possible?


The irony is that the course is being promoted by Bennets insurance!


Sorry if this is in in the wrong section. Its not completly training, track day or general insurance.

I would ring them and ask what other people have done in the past
The training course? They didn't really know. The insurance company? My last mission for temporary insurance taught me that the call centres only know what they know from their script. What is incredibly complex for one insurer is bread and butter for another.

Hence looking for guidance from here. Someone else must have done this.

Sorry mate my comment was a bit vague, I meant the school. I’ve just done a quick search for you there and found a company called “Devitt Motorcycle Training School Insurance”. It says the have tailored insurance for different types of training. It could be worth giving them a ring.

I did that course at Brands last week. It's all about technique,so nothing high speed/hairy to worry about,I didn't bother with any 'extra' insurance.(torrential rain all day,no incidents amongst the 20 or so participants)

Good day,improved my riding, :thumb:
