About this template
Whether it is for one person or a whole group, the Ocean Blue Banded Adult Literacy Programme Certificate gives language schools, libraries and writing groups a formal way to close a course with something worth keeping. Vollkorn sets the title and Work Sans carries the details, with a bold band of colour giving the page its character. Change a few words and it doubles as a certificate of achievement.
Suggested wording
Copy one of these lines into the certificate, then replace the words in brackets.

How to customise it
You can rewrite the whole certificate; the programme and reading level fields are already in place, and you can delete the ones you don’t need. Need portrait instead of landscape, or US Letter instead of A4? Change it in one click. Fonts can be swapped too; the defaults are Vollkorn and Work Sans. Colours are yours to change: try Pencil Yellow, or match your own brand colours. There is an Arabic edition too, laid out right to left with Changa.
Printing tips
For the best result, print on ivory or parchment paper of 160–200 gsm. Download the PDF at the paper size you will print on (A4 or US Letter) and set the printer to “Actual size” or 100%. It fits a standard certificate frame or a document folder.
