Is Level 1 suitable for me?

Level 1 is suitable for complete novices, but will also be a useful starting point for those who’ve been playing for up to a year, as well as social players who have dipped in and out of bridge and those who are unconfident or who just want to start from the beginning.

Those who are not complete beginners can also start at a later point in the Level 1 video series as explained in the next section.

What you’ll learn

With BridgeCast's Level 1 subscription, less experienced players can learn the fundamentals of Bridge at their own pace and gain the knowledge they need to play the game with skill and confidence. Level 1 covers all aspects of beginning Bridge including Opening and responding bids, balanced and unbalanced hands, No trump bids, overcalling, doubling, preempting and lots more. Most importantly Andrew will teach you lots about card play, both as declarer and defender.

Level one consists of 246 videos, with the option to start from the beginning (video number one), or alternatively choose another starting point. We have four recommended starting points for different levels of experience.
