Bridge Base Online
www.bridgebase.com
Registration is free, though there are charges for some of their competitions.
You can use BBO to practice, as you can set certain parameters - for example dealer always has a balanced hand with 12-14 points - and practice bidding with your regular partner.
You can also set up private sessions for say 2 tables and you play with your mates online.
Would not recommend more than 12 boards as it gets tiring on a PC, Tablet etc

VuBridge
This costs money
Vu-Bridge is an internet-based software programme which allows bridge students to play set hands designed in such a way as to improve their bidding and play.
Vu-Bridge has created three series of 24 lessons (each with 20 interactive deals and a quiz consisting of 10 bidding questions) known as V-Blue. V-Blue is designed to help teach beginner level students of bridge. The bidding system employed is Bridge for All Acol (with strong two’s, four card majors and a 12-14 weak no trump).
V-Blue provides material covering a three year curriculum corresponding to the three initial years of bridge learning for players who have already have a basic understanding of the game: i.e. the rules of contract bridge and the playing of Minibridge.
The totality of the V-Blue on-line system will consist of 1440 interactive set deals (of which 480 will become available during 2016) plus 720 bidding questions in the form of interactive quizzes.
