For the teacher, there is a downloadable Teacher Outline, PowerPoint, and hand files (PBN) for every class. As well as links to class videos that can be used for teacher prep, in the classroom as well as for student review and/or makeup.
How to Gain Access
ABTA Master Teachers and ACBL Best Practices Teachers have earned the right to use the program automatically with their certification.
It is also a curriculum option through our school, college, and lifelong learning programs.
Experienced bridge teachers, who are current ACBL members, may also request complimentary usage rights.
Everyone must sign the Usage Agreement, and those not automatically granted rights must also request them and provide information on their bridge teaching experience. You must also have a Resource Center user account so we can grant permission to the COURSES section that is not visible otherwise.
Once the request has been received, permissions will be manually assigned. This process is typically done once a week, usually Mondays.
