About this template
If you need to close a course with something worth keeping, this Cinematography Course Certificate does it with a timeless layout that film schools, festivals and photo clubs will recognise straight away. It is shown here in forest green, with a bold band of colour, Kalnia headings and Instrument 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.
This certifies that [Name] has successfully completed the Cinematography Course, [12] hours of guided study, on [Date].
This is to confirm that [Name] attended and completed the Cinematography Course, led by [Instructor], from [Start date] to [End date].
[Name] has met all the requirements of the Cinematography Course and is presented with this certificate of completion.
How to customise it
You can rewrite the whole certificate; the course hours, final film and result fields are already in place, and you can delete the ones you don’t need. It works in landscape or portrait, on A4 or US Letter, without you having to move anything. Fonts can be swapped too; the defaults are Kalnia and Instrument Sans. Prefer another look? Switch to the Tungsten Night or Magenta Gel colour scheme, or pick any colour you like. Add your logo, a crest or a photo and drag it into place.
Printing tips
Heavy matte or parchment paper gives it the weight of an official document. 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.
