Starting Summer 2025 there will be 3 series in the course. Series 2 is expanding into Series 2 and Series 3. Updated classes feature the original Series 2 topics with expanded instruction and practice activities to support a fuller understanding of key concepts.
The courses are virtual (live on Zoom) with a focus on hands-on learning, practice and play and your registration includes the live classes and a digital, downloadable student workbook you can print yourself.
Additional, complimentary, learning resources including practice/play links and class videos are offered through the ACBL Resource Center to all students who are ACBL members. A FREE Guest Membership* is included with your first class registration. Details and the link to take advantage of this will be in your registration confirmation.
* The FREE Guest Membership is only for new members; if you were previously an ACBL Member you need to renew your membership as you need an active member number to create an account at the Resource Center.
Please note, for the best experience, you need to use a computer (or laptop) with speakers and a microphone (webcam is optional). Most tablets will also work but they may make navigation and class interaction challenging. Smartphones will NOT work.
