What is EBUTA?

The EBU Teachers' Association, EBUTA, exists to promote and support effective bridge teaching. Its aims are to increase the extent and improve the standard of bridge teaching across England, so as to increase the number of people who play and enjoy bridge. These aims are achieved through the encouragement of EBUTA membership and the provision, to its members, of information, advice and training related to all aspects of bridge teaching at all levels.

Can anyone belong ?

Membership is open to all EBU members, whether established teachers or those interested in taking on this role. Initially, you join as an Associate member, gaining access to the wide range of membership benefits. Following attendance on one or more of our practical training workshops and after attending a practical teaching session delivered by a colleague, you can qualify as a Full member by being assessed as competent when presenting a teaching session, either live in the classroom or simulated in a workshop environment. Subsequently, those who are making a career of bridge teaching may progress to Professional membership, a status which carries with it considerable recognition across the bridge-playing fraternity.
