About this template
If you need to celebrate a goal that has been reached, this Academic Achievement Certificate does it with a timeless layout that schools, employers and clubs will recognise straight away. It is shown here in burgundy, with a stack of books, Lusitana headings and Public Sans for the smaller text.
Suggested wording
Copy one of these lines into the certificate, then replace the words in brackets.
With congratulations to [Name] for reaching [Milestone], a first for [Organisation].
Presented with pride to [Name] for Academic Achievement Certificate, from everyone at [Organisation].
For [Name], whose hard work turned an ambitious goal into a result we can all be proud of.
How to customise it
Click any line to change it: the recipient’s name, the wording, the date and the signatures. The design comes with three colour schemes (Oxford Blue, Maroon Library and Teal Study), and every single colour can be changed. It works in landscape or portrait, on A4 or US Letter, without you having to move anything. Fonts can be swapped too; the defaults are Lusitana and Public Sans. You can also upload a logo or a photo and place it anywhere on the page.
Printing tips
A cream, linen-textured paper of around 120 lb text (180 gsm) suits this classic layout. Download the PDF at the paper size you will print on (A4 or US Letter) and set the printer to “Actual size” or 100%. Sign it in blue or black ink once it is printed for a personal touch.
