About this template
Councils, neighbourhood groups and civic programmes reach for designs like this one when they want to close a course with something worth keeping: a clean Citizenship Course Certificate that looks as good in a frame as it does in a folder. Open Sans sets the title and Literata carries the details, with flowing waves giving the page its character. It works just as well as a volunteer certificate.
Suggested wording
Copy one of these lines into the certificate, then replace the words in brackets.
Completed by [Name] on [Date]: the Citizenship Course, including all assignments and the final assessment.
[Name] has met all the requirements of the Citizenship Course and is presented with this certificate of completion.
[Name] finished the Citizenship Course with a final grade of [Grade]. Congratulations on a course well done.
How to customise it
Click any line to change it: the recipient’s name, the wording, the date, modules completed and course hours and the signatures. The design comes with three colour schemes (Civic Stone, Garden Square and Rose Plaza), and every single colour can be changed. Change the font or the size of any line if your text is longer than the sample. Need portrait instead of landscape, or US Letter instead of A4? Change it in one click. There is an Arabic edition too, laid out right to left with Amiri.
Printing tips
Bright white matte paper of 160–200 gsm keeps the colours crisp. Choose A4 in Europe and most of the world, or US Letter in North America, before you download. It fits a standard certificate frame or a document folder.
