About this template
If you need to celebrate a goal that has been reached, this Certificate of Achievement does it with a classic layout that schools, managers and club leaders will recognise straight away. The colour scheme you see, Garnet & Brass, is one of three built into the design, with planets and orbits at the heart of the layout.
Suggested wording
Copy one of these lines into the certificate, then replace the words in brackets.
Presented to [Name] in recognition of outstanding achievement in [Area] during [Year].
In recognition of [Name]’s achievement on [Date]. Proof that persistence pays off.
Awarded to [Name] for exceeding expectations in [Project or subject]. Your effort made the difference.
How to customise it
You can rewrite the whole certificate, or keep the sample wording and just change the names. Fonts can be swapped too; the defaults are Young Serif and Figtree. The design comes with three colour schemes (Midnight & Gold, Garnet & Brass and Spruce & Champagne), and every single colour can be changed. It works in landscape or portrait, on A4 or US Letter, without you having to move anything. Add your logo, a crest or a photo and drag it into place.
Printing tips
For the best result, print on ivory or parchment paper of 160–200 gsm. Download the PDF at the paper size you will print on (A4 or US Letter) and set the printer to “Actual size” or 100%. It fits a standard certificate frame or a document folder.
