About this template
Whether it is for one person or a whole group, the Black Seal Course Completion with Distinction gives training companies and course providers a timeless way to close a course with something worth keeping. The colour scheme you see, Aubergine & Champagne, is one of three built into the design, with a round seal at the heart of the layout. It works just as well as a certificate of achievement or a training certificate.
Suggested wording
Copy one of these lines into the certificate, then replace the words in brackets.
[Name] finished the Course Completion with Distinction with a final grade of [Grade]. Congratulations on a course well done.
Completed by [Name] on [Date]: the Course Completion with Distinction, including all assignments and the final assessment.
This certifies that [Name] has successfully completed the Course Completion with Distinction, [12] hours of guided study, on [Date].
How to customise it
You can rewrite the whole certificate; the final mark, grade and course length fields are already in place, and you can delete the ones you don’t need. The design comes with three colour schemes (Navy & Gold, Emerald & Gold and Aubergine & Champagne), and every single colour can be changed. Text sizes adjust to fit, and you can choose another font for any line. Choose A4, US Letter or A3, in landscape or portrait, and the layout rearranges itself to fit. You can also upload a logo or a photo and place it anywhere on the page.
Printing tips
A cream, linen-textured paper of around 120 lb text (180 gsm) suits this classic layout. Choose A4 in Europe and most of the world, or US Letter in North America, before you download. Because of the dark background, check your ink first, or send the PDF to a local print shop.
