Student waivers & insurance

[cc_ninja]

Does anyone have a really good student waiver they are willing to share.

I am also looking for a good insurance agency.

Any help would be appreciated.

Shop carefully for insurance. Identical coverage is provided by different companies at substantially different prices.

Following is the release for we use. Compared to others I have seen -- most particularly the sample provided in the ACMA certification manual -- our form is rather simple, but it has worked for us. At the bottom of the actual form, there are spaces for the applicant to sign and provide mailing and e-mail addresses, phone numbers, etc.
