About this template
Here is a classic way to celebrate a goal that has been reached: the Burgundy Sunburst Certificate of Achievement, a template that suits schools, managers and club leaders. The colour scheme you see, Madder Night, is one of three built into the design, with a sunburst at the heart of the layout. You will also find it under Course Completion on CerShare.
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
Every word is editable, from the title to the signature line, including the final assessment and modules completed lines. Prefer another look? Switch to the Aizome Indigo or Sumi Charcoal colour scheme, or pick any colour you like. Change the font or the size of any line if your text is longer than the sample. Need portrait instead of landscape, or US Letter instead of A4? Change it in one click. 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. Print one copy on plain paper first to check the spelling and the margins. The background is dark, so a laser printer or a print shop will give the richest colour.
