IN PERSON: This course is designed to help you improve your bidding skills and enjoyment of the game. It is only suitable for people who have previously played bridge, whether in college or socially.

In this interactive in-person course, participants will learn how the partnership communicates their hand strength and shape to reach an optimum contract. This includes hand reevaluation, types of bids, opening and responding to no-trump, and major and minor suits. It will also cover ways to enter the auction using modern competitive bidding tools such as doubles and overcalls as well as other conventional tools. Each class consists of a mini-lecture followed by playing and discussing practice hands to apply the concepts learned. | Facilitated discussion, Active Skill Learning.
