Every VolunteerBadge Academy course is available in Spanish as well as English. It is the same course — same modules, same quizzes, same certificate — just in Spanish, so you can send one course to your whole team regardless of which language they read in.
Where to find it
Spanish course links
Every course has a Spanish address that is just its English address with /es in front of the slug:
- English —
academy.volunteerbadge.com/safe-boundaries-for-volunteers - Spanish —
academy.volunteerbadge.com/es/safe-boundaries-for-volunteers
Both links are permanent and shareable. If you are sending a course to a Spanish-speaking volunteer, send them the /es link directly — they will land in Spanish without having to switch.
Assigning training to Spanish-speaking volunteers
Assignment works exactly as it does in English. Assign the course from a volunteer's profile or with Bulk assign training on the Compliance Roster, and they are emailed a link to start it. The volunteer can switch the course to Spanish from that page at any time, including partway through.
Certificates
A certificate earned on the Spanish version of a course is the same certificate, and it returns to the volunteer's record the same way. The passing score is identical, the questions are the same questions, and the answers are in the same order — the only difference is the language they are written in. Nothing about your compliance record changes based on which language a volunteer chose.
The certificate PDF itself is issued in the language the volunteer took the course in, including the course title and the date. A volunteer who took the Spanish version gets a Spanish certificate, and it stays Spanish every time they download it or you open it from their record. The certificate ID and its verification page are the same either way, so a Spanish certificate verifies exactly like an English one.
How the Spanish was produced
What a volunteer sees in Spanish
Everything on the path from the course page to the certificate: the lessons, quizzes, scenarios and course outline; the buttons, progress labels and the “before you begin” notice inside the course player; the final exam and its result screen; the certificate form; and the certificate PDF. The read-aloud player reads the Spanish text using whatever Spanish voices the volunteer's own device has installed.
A few surfaces around the Academy are still English only — the signup flow, the leader dashboard, and the emails that carry a training assignment. Those are on the list; none of them change what a volunteer learns or whether they pass.
