About this template
Use this traditional Certificate of Excellence to celebrate a goal that has been reached. It suits schools, managers and club leaders, and anyone else who wants the moment to feel official. It is shown here in burgundy, with a medal, Italiana headings and Mulish for the smaller text.
Suggested wording
Copy one of these lines into the certificate, then replace the words in brackets.

This certificate recognises [Name] for an outstanding achievement: exceptional effort, and an even better outcome.
How to customise it
Every word is editable, from the title to the signature line. Colours are yours to change: try Ink & Gold, or match your own brand colours. Change the font or the size of any line if your text is longer than the sample. Choose A4, US Letter or A3, in landscape or portrait, and the layout rearranges itself to fit. Add your logo, a crest or a photo and drag it into place.
Printing tips
A cream, linen-textured paper of around 120 lb text (180 gsm) suits this classic layout. Print one copy on plain paper first to check the spelling and the margins. Sign it in blue or black ink once it is printed for a personal touch.
