About this template
If you need to celebrate a goal that has been reached, this Certificate of Excellence does it with a clean layout that schools, managers and club leaders will recognise straight away. Look closely and you will notice scattered stars and corner ornaments, set off by Rye lettering in midnight blue.
Suggested wording
Copy one of these lines into the certificate, then replace the words in brackets.
With congratulations to [Name] for reaching [Milestone], a first for [Organisation].
Awarded to [Name] for exceeding expectations in [Project or subject]. Your effort made the difference.
For [Name], whose hard work turned an ambitious goal into a result we can all be proud of.
How to customise it
Every word is editable, from the title to the signature line, including the category, year and rank lines. Fonts can be swapped too; the defaults are Rye and Zilla Slab. Prefer another look? Switch to the Red & Black or Green & Orange colour scheme, or pick any colour you like. Need portrait instead of landscape, or US Letter instead of A4? Change it in one click. There is an Arabic edition too, laid out right to left with Rakkas.
Printing tips
Use a smooth white paper rather than parchment, so the clean lines stay sharp. Download the PDF at the paper size you will print on (A4 or US Letter) and set the printer to “Actual size” or 100%. Standard A4 and Letter frames fit it without trimming.
