Further to the technical notice sent 4th April 2017 regarding membership for candidates on overseas courses, STA would like to clarify the position of overseas membership fees for those members who hold STA tutor and/or examiner status.

The £10 overseas membership fee is applicable to candidates attending overseas courses and additionally to STA tutors/examiners operating overseas within this role, providing they are able to demonstrate that they would be completely unable to benefit from the free public liability insurance offered with STA membership based on their individual circumstances.

In order to be granted the £10 overseas membership fee, tutors/examiners are required to review the public liability insurance documentation carefully and determine their eligibility to receive it based on their circumstances of operating as an STA tutor/examiner.

Where it can be shown that tutors/examiners are not eligible to receive the benefit of the free public liability insurance offered with STA membership, if for example they are not a UK, Republic of Ireland or Falkland Islands resident, or if they operate as a tutor/examiner solely outside the United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland or Falkland Islands, they can contact our membership team to request the reduced overseas membership rate.

If you believe you are eligible to receive the overseas membership fee, or if you have any questions regarding your STA membership, please contact our membership team with full details of your query. For questions specifically related to the free public liability insurance offered with STA membership, please contact Ault, STA’s insurance brokers, directly.
