About this template
Colleges, academies and adult-education centres reach for designs like this one when they want to mark the day someone graduates: a classic Graduate Diploma that looks as good in a frame as it does in a folder. It is shown here in burgundy, with a graduation cap and tassel, Della Respira headings and Mulish for the smaller text. You will also find it under Course Completion on CerShare.
Suggested wording
Copy one of these lines into the certificate, then replace the words in brackets.
[Name] has met every requirement of Graduate Diploma with determination and good humour. We are proud to call you a graduate.
In honour of [Name], who completed Graduate Diploma in [Year]. The tassel moves from right to left, and a new chapter begins.
Today we celebrate [Name], graduate of [Year]: may your next steps be as bold as the ones that brought you here.
How to customise it
You can rewrite the whole certificate; the duration and certificate no. fields are already in place, and you can delete the ones you don’t need. Colours are yours to change: try Teal & Brass, or match your own brand colours. Text sizes adjust to fit, and you can choose another font for any line. Choose A4, US Letter or A3, in landscape or portrait, and the layout rearranges itself to fit. You can also upload a logo or a photo and place it anywhere on the page.
Printing tips
For the best result, print on ivory or parchment paper of 160–200 gsm. Choose A4 in Europe and most of the world, or US Letter in North America, before you download. Standard A4 and Letter frames fit it without trimming.
