About this template
Homeschooling parents, tutors and online schools reach for designs like this one when they want to mark the day someone graduates: a timeless Online Academy Diploma that looks as good in a frame as it does in a folder. It is shown here in forest green, with a laurel wreath, Gloock headings and Space Grotesk for the smaller text. Change a few words and it doubles as a course completion certificate.
Suggested wording
Copy one of these lines into the certificate, then replace the words in brackets.
With this certificate, [School] confirms that [Name] has successfully completed Online Academy Diploma.
Today we celebrate [Name], graduate of [Year]: may your next steps be as bold as the ones that brought you here.
Presented to [Name], Class of [Year], with pride in everything you have learned and excitement for everything still to come.
How to customise it
You can rewrite the whole certificate; the courses and mode fields are already in place, and you can delete the ones you don’t need. The design comes with three colour schemes (Midnight & Gold, Aubergine & Mint and Forest & Brass), and every single colour can be changed. Fonts can be swapped too; the defaults are Gloock and Space Grotesk. 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 Kufam.
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%. The background is dark, so a laser printer or a print shop will give the richest colour.
