About this template
If you need to celebrate a goal that has been reached, this Certificate of Distinction does it with a modern layout that schools, managers and club leaders will recognise straight away. It is shown here in chocolate, with a ribbon, Montaga headings and Instrument Sans for the smaller text. Change a few words and it doubles as a Ramadan or Eid certificate.
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.
With congratulations to [Name] for reaching [Milestone], a first for [Organisation].
Presented with pride to [Name] for an outstanding achievement, from everyone at [Organisation].
How to customise it
Click any line to change it: the recipient’s name, the wording, the date, portfolio and result and the signatures. Need portrait instead of landscape, or US Letter instead of A4? Change it in one click. Change the font or the size of any line if your text is longer than the sample. The design comes with three colour schemes (Ink & Gold, Lapis Ink and Sepia & Teal), and every single colour can be changed. Add your logo, a crest or a photo and drag it into place.
Printing tips
Bright white matte paper of 160–200 gsm keeps the colours crisp. Choose A4 in Europe and most of the world, or US Letter in North America, before you download. It fits a standard certificate frame or a document folder.
