About this template
Whether it is for one person or a whole group, the Burgundy Seal Certificate of Achievement gives schools, managers and club leaders a traditional way to celebrate a goal that has been reached. On CerShare it comes in the Burgundy colour scheme, with a round seal as the centrepiece; the lettering pairs Cormorant Garamond with Montserrat.
Suggested wording
Copy one of these lines into the certificate, then replace the words in brackets.
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.
With congratulations to [Name] for reaching [Milestone], a first for [Organisation].
How to customise it
Click any line to change it: the recipient’s name, the wording, the date and the signatures. Prefer another look? Switch to the Navy & Gold or Forest colour scheme, or pick any colour you like. Choose A4, US Letter or A3, in landscape or portrait, and the layout rearranges itself to fit. Change the font or the size of any line if your text is longer than the sample. Add your logo, a crest or a photo and drag it into place.
Printing tips
Heavy matte or parchment paper gives it the weight of an official document. In the print dialog choose “Actual size” rather than “Fit”, so the border isn’t cropped. It fits a standard certificate frame or a document folder.
