About this template
Made with course creators, trainers and schools in mind, this Certificate of Completion helps you close a course with something worth keeping without starting from a blank page. It is shown here in emerald, Libre Bodoni headings and Work Sans for the smaller text. You will also find it under Achievement on CerShare.
Suggested wording
Copy one of these lines into the certificate, then replace the words in brackets.
Presented to [Name] for reaching the final lesson of the [Course name] course. Well done, and keep practising.
This is to confirm that [Name] attended and completed the [Course name] course, led by [Instructor], from [Start date] to [End date].
[Name] has met all the requirements of the [Course name] course and is presented with this certificate of completion.
How to customise it
You can rewrite the whole certificate; the contents, hours and total study hours fields are already in place, and you can delete the ones you don’t need. Fonts can be swapped too; the defaults are Libre Bodoni and Work Sans. Prefer another look? Switch to the Bodoni Navy or Oxford Blue colour scheme, or pick any colour you like. It works in landscape or portrait, on A4 or US Letter, without you having to move anything. There is an Arabic edition too, laid out right to left with Scheherazade New.
Printing tips
A cream, linen-textured paper of around 120 lb text (180 gsm) suits this classic layout. In the print dialog choose “Actual size” rather than “Fit”, so the border isn’t cropped. Standard A4 and Letter frames fit it without trimming.
