3 Kinds of Bridge Teacher
Accreditation Programs
The ACBL recognizes that one of the most critical
needs we have is to teach newcomers how to play bridge. It goes
without saying, then, that we need our teachers!
We’ve expanded our teacher training accreditation
programs so that you can select the one that’s right for you.
Effective Jan. 1, 2004, the ACBL endorsed three teacher
accreditation programs. Upon completion of any of these programs,
teachers will be recognized as accredited by the ACBL and receive
benefits including The Bridge Teacher newsletter.
All three teacher training programs ARE offered at
each of the three North American Bridge Championships in 2004. In
addition, units and districts are welcome to host one or more of
these programs either during their tournaments or at a convenient
time.

:: Teacher Accreditation Program
The traditional Teacher Accreditation Program (TAP)
managed by the ACBL Education Department. This program is based
on use of the popular ACBL Bridge Lesson Series textbooks but often
is adapted by teachers using their own or other materials.
For more information about the program, see the Teacher
Resource Manual at www.acbl.org.
Go to Information, then Education/Teachers. A calendar and sign-up
sheet also are available.
:: Better Bridge Accreditation Program
The Better Bridge Accreditation Program managed by
Audrey Grant’s Better Bridge organization. Grant has developed
new methods to assist teachers in introducing players to duplicate.
For more information about the program, go to BetterBridge.Com
:: Easybridge! Accredited Presenter Program
Easybridge! is a full marketing program designed
to start a new club game by recruiting players interested in duplicate.
The students learn as they play.

ABOUT THE TAP : TEACHER
ACCREDIATION PROGRAM
Are you interested in a bridge opportunity that will:
:: Make you an integral part of ACBL's growth?
:: Train you, at nominal cost, for a lucrative part-or-
full-time job?
:: Enable you to use your pride, interest and skill
in a positive and productive way?
If you answered yes to all of the questions above,
then consider becoming an ACBL Accredited Teacher.
The 10-hour course will train you in the hands-on
style of teaching beginners' bridge in a manner that is fun and
easy for bridge students. The ACBL Club Series Teacher Manual and
Club Series Student Text will be sent to you when you enroll and
will be the study guides for the course. This material, written
by Audrey Grant, has been used by many ACBL Accredited Teachers
all over North America. Their reactions to the ACBL / Audrey Grant
course material are overwhelmingly positive. A typical response
comes from Janice Randles of Whidbey Island, Wa.
"The TAP materials are oustanding. They simplify
teaching so much. The Club Series is the most comprehensive, professionally
presented material I have found. It is a joy to teach and the students
adore it!"
In addition, the course will offer valuable marketing
advice for bridge lessons and give you an opportunity to exchange
ideas with other bridge teachers.
As an ACBL Accredited Teacher, you will receive the
following benefits:
:: ACBL Accredited Teachers receive discounted prices
on
all ACBL beginning course materials
:: A quarterly newsletter, "The Bridge Teacher,”
keeps accredited teachers informed of Education Department programs,
gives helpful teaching and marketing tips, and provides an outlet
for the exchange of ideas among the teachers.
