About this template
If you need to celebrate a goal that has been reached, this Blank Certificate does it with a contemporary layout that anyone who needs a certificate will recognise straight away. Volkhov sets the title and Karla carries the details, with a ribbon rosette giving the page its character. It works just as well as a certificate of appreciation.
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].
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
You can rewrite the whole certificate, or keep the sample wording and just change the names. 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. Colours are yours to change: try Teal & Coral, or match your own brand colours. Add your logo, a crest or a photo and drag it into place.
Printing tips
A smooth, bright white card stock (about 65–80 lb cover) gives the cleanest finish. 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.
