About this template
Made with leadership programmes, HR teams and business schools in mind, this First-time Manager Certificate helps you close a course with something worth keeping without starting from a blank page. The colour scheme you see, Slate & Coral, is one of three built into the design, with a bold band of colour at the heart of the layout. Change a few words and it doubles as a training certificate.

How to customise it
Every word is editable, from the title to the signature line, including the cohort, duration and format lines. The design comes with three colour schemes (Teal & Amber, Slate & Coral and Forest & Gold), and every single colour can be changed. Text sizes adjust to fit, and you can choose another font for any line. Need portrait instead of landscape, or US Letter instead of A4? Change it in one click. 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. In the print dialog choose “Actual size” rather than “Fit”, so the border isn’t cropped. It fits a standard certificate frame or a document folder.
