English Bridge Education and Development runs Club Teacher Training courses which help all bridge clubs to ‘grow their own’ membership through an integrated teaching programme. The purpose of this course is to provide basic training for club members who are prepared to offer a teaching programme at their club.
Since 2010, the EBU has offered to pay for one free place for its affiliated clubs, every 2 years, on the Club Teacher Training course.
Through the charity EBED, the EBU intends to invest in producing new educational material, with the aim of helping people to learn how to play bridge more quickly and easily and inspire them to join Clubs. This is an objective that we are told by Members should be of the highest priority to safeguard the future of our game. To help EBED, and EBU, finance this, we are rebalancing our financial support to teacher training in Clubs by replacing the one free place scheme with a standard discount of 20% for all teaching courses booked only by affiliated Clubs.
These new arrangements will take effect for all Club Teacher Training courses booked on or after 1 September 2016, and the discount will apply to all bookings received from, invoiced to, and paid by, an affiliated club. All other bookings are to remain at the full price.
