ABF Teacher Training Workshops
The ABF offers teacher training events around Australia each year to help new bridge teachers prepare for their first lesson and inspire current teachers with new ideas. These free workshops, which are made possible by the ABF and the state bridge associations, aim to provide teachers with the necessary skills to run successful bridge lessons and help with play sessions.
Upcoming Workshops
Please note due to COVID-19 restrictions, all Teacher Training Workshops at bridge clubs have been cancelled. However, online CPD Days are planned to fill this gap.
The Online Workshops are presented via Zoom, with sessions limited to 10 people to ensure the lessons are productive. You will need to attend all sessions for a CPD Day to earn ABF Accreditation Points.
