What Our Members Say
“Through you EMD had come up with the help and information I needed, and so quickly too. Having used other organisations for support and professional insurance I never looked anywhere again after joining as a member of EMD, finding easy to connect with through the web or by phone, helpful, knowledgeable and value for money. I shall continue to recommend EMD to new teachers.”
“Being a member of EMD has been invaluable to me. As a group exercise instructor, EMD is always the first place I go to for my insurance, and also if I need help or advice regarding my fitness classes. Sarah at EMD is always so kind, helpful and supportive, and also very quick at getting back to me with answers to my questions. The website is also really informative with lots of information, tips, webinars and other resources that I can use to help me with my classes too. It’s great ”
