About this template
If you need to close a course with something worth keeping, this Painting Class Certificate does it with a modern layout that hobby teachers, studios and community classes will recognise straight away. Patrick Hand sets the title and Be Vietnam Pro carries the details, with scattered stars giving the page its character.
Suggested wording
Copy one of these lines into the certificate, then replace the words in brackets.
[Name] has met all the requirements of the Painting Class Certificate and is presented with this certificate of completion.
Completed by [Name] on [Date]: the Painting Class Certificate, including all assignments and the final assessment.
This certifies that [Name] has successfully completed the Painting Class Certificate, [12] hours of guided study, on [Date].
How to customise it
Every word is editable, from the title to the signature line, including the course and sessions lines. Choose A4, US Letter or A3, in landscape or portrait, and the layout rearranges itself to fit. Change the font or the size of any line if your text is longer than the sample. The design comes with three colour schemes (Primary Studio, Earth Pigments and Pastel Palette), and every single colour can be changed. 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.
