About this template
Here is a traditional way to close a course with something worth keeping: the Plum Pennant Statistics Course Certificate, a template that suits research institutes, labs and science competitions. On CerShare it comes in the Plum & Mustard colour scheme, with pennant flags as the centrepiece; the lettering pairs PT Serif with PT Sans. 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.

For completing the Statistics Course and putting new skills into practice from the very first session.
[Name] finished the Statistics Course with a final grade of [Grade]. Congratulations on a course well done.
How to customise it
You can rewrite the whole certificate; the assessment, hours and core topics fields are already in place, and you can delete the ones you don’t need. Choose A4, US Letter or A3, in landscape or portrait, and the layout rearranges itself to fit. Fonts can be swapped too; the defaults are PT Serif and PT Sans. Prefer another look? Switch to the Ink & Teal or Indigo Data 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. 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.
