New Club Teacher Essentials Course

With our Teaching Hub now being over 12 months old and following the success of our online webinars we are delighted to announce the restructure of our club teacher programme.

The new Club Teacher Training Essentials course blends both online tuition with face 2 face so that all new Associate Members of EBTA are better equipped to effectively deliver our material in the way that suits them best.

For new teachers we provide a complete 'turnkey' solution to delivering bridge lessons for complete beginners split over a number of lessons for which we provide full lesson plans. In addition we work with bridge experts who prepare the material for us allowing us to nsures that what we offer is both relevant and up to date with modern practices.

For experienced teachers because our material is split up in to individual learning objectives its easy to take individual parts of our pre-formatted lessons and use them to support your existing individual lesson plans.
