New criteria are being established by states and territories for teacher accreditation from 1 January 2023. Check with your Association for updates as they become available.
ABF Honorary Teachers
The ABF has recognised a number of outstanding teachers who have a long and successful teaching history. These experienced teachers are highly skilled, generally with a distinguished record in high-level play, having won national titles and/or represented Australia internationally, and may also have strong coaching skills. They will certainly possess the necessary interpersonal and communication skills to teach bridge at all levels.
