Employed Studio vs Freelance Considerations

Employed Studio vs Freelance Considerations

Your responsibilities and approach may differ depending on your work setting:

Employed Studio-based instructor:

• Follow the employer’s studio’s policies, procedures, and curriculum.

• Collaborate with colleagues and management on safety, class plans, and student progress.

• Benefit from existing professional support.

Freelance instructor:

• Take full responsibility for risk assessments, equipment safety, and legal compliance.

• Communicate clearly with parents about expectations, session structure, and fees.

• Maintain your own insurance, first aid, and safeguarding qualifications.

Whether employed or freelance, always keep accurate records of student attendance, progress, and incidents.
