About this template
Made with colleges, academies and adult-education centres in mind, this Academy Graduation Certificate helps you mark the day someone graduates without starting from a blank page. The colour scheme you see, Crimson & Gold, is one of three built into the design, with a laurel wreath at the heart of the layout. You will also find it under Course Completion on CerShare.

How to customise it
You can rewrite the whole certificate; the programme and class 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. Text sizes adjust to fit, and you can choose another font for any line. Colours are yours to change: try Navy & Gold, or match your own brand colours. Add your logo, a crest or a photo and drag it into place.
Printing tips
For the best result, print on ivory or parchment paper of 160–200 gsm. In the print dialog choose “Actual size” rather than “Fit”, so the border isn’t cropped. It fits a standard certificate frame or a document folder.
