If you know the basics of bridge but are not yet ready to play a social game of bridge, we recommend this course as your next step.
This is a set of 8 lessons that will consolidate what you learnt in your beginner classes. We will introduce you to competitive bidding. We will teach you some new commonly used systems. We will discuss the etiquette of duplicate play and teach you how to use Bridge mates. We will help you consolidate your bidding system.
By the end of this course, you will be able to play a social game of bridge and be ready to try supervised play.
