Seven complete courses · Years in the making
One complete bridge course — from your very first trick to advanced defence and card play.
For ACOL and Standard American players
Built on years of research and fully developed from start to finish. Total beginners start with the basics; club players go deep into the defence and declarer play most never properly learn. And Bridge IQ tracks your real quiz results to show you exactly what to work on next.
What our students are saying
“Thank you — I was a complete beginner 3 weeks ago, but I am already playing bridge with my friends, albeit with the coaching sheets you provided.”
“I’m playing my way through the £1 introductory lesson… and I’ve already learnt something new. Why I should take trumps early — hurrah!”
“I was actually intimidated at first by the depth of the material, but it is laid out in manageable, small chunks. It made the learning process easy and has really brought my game on.”
“I’m increasingly confident, now I have a logical procedure I understand. The visuals and short videos have helped very much, as I’m a visual and auditory learner.”
“I am in awe of the system you have designed.”
“I am using this course to support my lessons at my local bridge club. I found some concepts hard to grasp in class, but the infographics and videos here are very high quality and a real help.”
“Easy to understand instructions.”
“Thanks for doing this. I’ve been playing for a few years now and was irresistibly drawn to your total package.”

Simple to use — no technical know-how needed
If you can read an email, you can use Your Bridge Coach. There is nothing to download or install, and it works on your computer, laptop or tablet. Every module works the same way:
1
Read the lesson. Plain English, with pictures and worked hands, at your own pace.
2
Keep the reference sheet. One page of the key points, to print or keep beside you.
3
Try the quiz. Every answer is explained, and you can take it again as often as you like.
4
Practise what you’ve learned. Play real hands in the Convention Centre, with a coach to guide you.
Small steps, one at a time. No timers, no one watching, and you can’t break anything — if you get something wrong, you simply try again.

Learn it in the lesson. Make it stick in the Convention Centre.
New
Reading about Stayman is one thing. Bidding it at the table without a second thought is another. The Convention Centre closes that gap: it deals you real hands for exactly what you’ve just learned, and you bid and play them out with robot partners until the bids come naturally.
The coach checks your bidding, then asks you to plan the play before dummy plays a card.
Practise what every lesson teaches
From opening bids and raises to Stayman, transfers, overcalls, doubles and slam bidding — twenty practice areas, each matching the lessons. Switch on just the ones you’ve learned, and every hand you’re dealt uses them.
A coach at your elbow
Feedback on every call you make, an explanation of each of partner’s bids, and advice as you play the cards — then a summary of where the tricks went. Or switch the coach off and play on your own.
Defend and signal
Practise the defence most players never study: choose your signals and your robot partner signals back — and reads yours. The coach tells you what each signal means as it happens.
- Over 3,000 hands, in Acol or SAYC — whichever your club plays.
- Robots at four strengths, from Beginner to Expert. They never cheat: they see only what a real player would see.
- No one waiting on you, no one watching. Take as long as you like, replay any hand, and come back to it by number.
- Try it for £1. The Foundation course includes the Bidding Basics hands; full membership opens everything.
A curriculum built properly, not bolted together
Years of research went into these courses, and every one is fully developed — not a handful of videos with more “coming soon”. They take you from never having picked up a hand to the defence and card play that separates good club players from the rest.
A proper lesson
Plain English, worked hands, and the reasoning behind each rule — not just the rule itself.
A reference sheet
One page of the key points for every module, for beside you at the table or whenever a sequence has gone rusty.
A real quiz
Real hands, a full explanation behind every answer, and the result feeding straight into your Bridge IQ.
That’s not a one-off — it’s every module, across all seven courses:
1 · Foundation
The game itself — tricks, trumps, counting your hand. Start here with zero prior knowledge; we don’t even assume you know what a trick is.
2 · ACOL Bidding Basics
The system played in most British clubs — Weak No Trump, four-card majors.
3 · SAYC Bidding Basics
Standard American — Strong No Trump, five-card majors. Take this one or ACOL, whichever your club plays.
4 · Intermediate Bidding & Conventions
Stayman, transfers, overcalls, doubles, pre-empts — the two systems rejoin here.
5 · Slam & Beyond
For the keen — slam bidding and the sequences that need real precision. Marked optional in Bridge IQ; never counts against you.
6 · Declarer Play
Planning the hand, establishing suits, drawing trumps, entries, and the advanced techniques that turn a failing contract into a making one. This is where contracts are actually made.
7 · Defence
Opening leads, signals, counting the hand, and the card play that takes contracts down. You defend half of every session — and most club players have never studied it properly. This is where the biggest improvement usually lies.
Nothing is locked behind the last course. Pay once and everything is open from day one — go straight to whatever you need.
You are probably one of these
Starting from scratch
Never played, or played kitchen bridge and want the real thing. Start at Foundation — we start assuming you don’t even know what a trick is.
In lessons, and lost — or get ahead
Your class moves at the speed of its fastest student. Here you can stop, re-read, and take the quiz again until it sticks — or get ahead of next week’s lesson.
Coming back to it
Played years ago and most of it’s still in there. Bridge IQ finds what’s gone rusty in an afternoon, not a season.
A club player, ready for the next level
Every player has weaknesses they don’t know about. Let Bridge IQ check for yours, then go deep into the defence and declarer play that win the close boards.
Most bridge courses can’t answer one simple question
How do you actually know it’s sunk in? Watching a video doesn’t tell you. Reading a course page doesn’t tell you. Most sites can only show you how far you’ve scrolled — which says nothing about whether you’d get it right at the table.
We built Bridge IQ to answer that question properly. It’s a personal dashboard, built into every course, based on real quiz results — not reading progress.
How Bridge IQ works
Included with every membership
Every module you touch — lesson, reference sheet or quiz — feeds into one picture of your progress. Log in and Bridge IQ shows you, at a glance, exactly where you stand. Here’s what it looks like for a strong club player — ahead in bidding basics, dipping into slam bidding, and with defence flagged as the next thing worth their time:
Real quiz results, not pages read. Optional material never counts against you.
Your next building block
No more guessing what to study next. Bridge IQ walks a proper learning order, from your very first lesson onwards, and hands you the single next thing worth your time — not a wall of everything at once.
What needs attention
Anything you’ve had a go at but haven’t nailed down shows up here automatically — so weak spots get found before a real hand finds them for you.
Build your own focus list
Working on something specific with your partner or your class this week? Pin exactly those modules to your focus view. Nothing is locked — go straight to what you need.
And it’s honest with you
- Measured against club standard, not perfection. You’re never made to feel behind. Advanced material, like slam bidding, is marked optional and never drags your score down — most club players never need it.
- Knows which system you play. Tell it ACOL or SAYC once, and the other is left out of your score completely — no confusing overlap.
- Tracks real progress over time, so improvement is something you can see, not just something you hope is happening.
- Entirely optional. Prefer to just work through the lessons? Your quizzes feed Bridge IQ in the background, and it’s there whenever you want to look.

Questions people ask
I’ve never played bridge. Is this really for me?
Yes. Foundation starts by assuming you don’t even know what a trick is, and takes you step by step to playing your first full hand. If you’ve played Whist or any trick-taking game, you already know more than you think.
What actually makes Bridge IQ different from a normal course-progress bar?
A progress bar tells you how much you’ve read. Bridge IQ tells you how much you can actually do — because it’s built on your real quiz results, not page-views. It’s the difference between “I finished the chapter” and “I got it right.”
Do I have to use Bridge IQ?
No. Your quizzes feed into it automatically, but you never have to look at it. Work through the lessons at your own pace, and it’s there whenever you want to see how you’re getting on.
Do I have to take the courses in order?
No. Everything is unlocked from day one. Bridge IQ suggests a sensible order, but if your partnership needs opening leads fixed this week, go straight to opening leads.
I already play. Is this too basic for me?
No — the courses go in depth into areas most club players never get round to learning, and they’re fully developed, built on years of research. The biggest one is defence: you defend half of every hand you ever play, and it’s the part almost nobody actually studies. Take a couple of quizzes and let Bridge IQ show you where you stand. And when you’re ready to go further, Slam & Beyond covers precision bidding well past what most club players ever cover.
Which system should I learn — ACOL or SAYC?
Play the system your club plays — in the UK and much of the Commonwealth that’s ACOL, in North America it’s SAYC. If you’re playing online, you can learn either, and ACOL is generally considered easier for beginners. Tell Bridge IQ which one and the other is left out of your score entirely.
Can I cancel?
Any time, from your account page. No phone calls, no retention offers.
