| To set up as Partner Teacher you will receive an unprecedented level of support from the EBU. |
 | The EBU will provide you with a hosted website with a domain name of your own choosing and associated email address. You won’t have to be a website expert to use it. You will be able to upload all your own details including course details and later on club details, pictures and club news. It will have a customer enquiry form to service your course dates. There will be a small cost attached to the website in the region of £40 per year.
|
 | Corporate advertising copy for teachers. This is for your use when advertising in the local press or even to use as flyers to give out to neighbours and friends.
|
 | Book One - Beginning Bridge is a two-colour, bound publication with glossy pages running to 164 pages. It gently takes the student from suit recognition to the competitive auction in approximately three ten-week terms of learning. The course work is accredited by the Open College Network. This professional material gives the teacher a unique selling point when compared with other non affiliated teachers.
|
 |
The course work books, normally £25 will be offered at the special discounted price of £10 exclusively to Partner Teachers.
|
 | Book Two will also be offered at this special discounted price for the Learn and Play Club period.
|
 | Free Master Points for the Learn & Play Club’s nine month period and for the first year of the Partner Club. Students only need to play twelve boards and a minimum of three tables in play to qualify for their issue. Students love collecting Master Points. They give an independent record of achievement from the governing body of the game very early on. It inspires confidence and a continuing sense of achievement. Because they are playing in their own protected environment they can achieve the early ranks quite quickly.
|
 | Free EBU membership to students for the first eighteen months. This means that the students are looked after by the EBU and the teacher. The student will receive a welcome pack with an 18 month diary, three copies a year of their own student magazine ‘The Ruffian’ and six copies a year of English Bridge. They will be affiliated though the teacher’s County Bridge Association who, in most cases, will also send them a welcome letter and newsletters.
|
 | Start up sets of bridge tables, cloths, bidding boxes and boards at an exclusively low price.
|
 |
Stationary, which includes, name slips, travellers and personal score cards for the first year of a Learn & Play Club at no cost.
|
 | An initial stock of decks of cards (24) at no cost.
|
 | Support with computer deals and hand records. Some teachers have access to duplimate machines which are owned by clubs or counties. Where this service is not available, deals with hand records may be down loaded from the website. After a playing session, the teacher can upload all the ranking lists and travellers onto their own website for perusal by the students.
