Cruz Roja (Red Cross) certifications
By Don | July 24, 2016
Towards the end of our intensive Spanish program, we put our español to the test by taking a Red Cross certification program (Saturday mornings) covering emergency first-aid, trauma and CPR. Obviously everything in the course was in español (including the final written test!) but we did it. Our instructor, Fernando, was an excellent teacher who spoke clearly, methodically and patiently for us. We snapped pictures of every PowerPoint slide which had a lot of new medical terminology we needed to memorize, plus used Google translate on our phones during class if we stumbled on a particular word.
And we just got our certification diplomas! It took a couple of weeks to get all the signatures.
