About this template
If you need to record training that has been completed, this Accredited CPD Course Certificate does it with a traditional layout that CPD providers, professional bodies and L&D teams will recognise straight away. With a badge and Cardo headings, it has a formal feel, while the Burgundy & Gold palette keeps the colours fresh. It works just as well as a professional certificate or a course completion certificate.

Copy one of these lines into the certificate, then replace the words in brackets.

How to customise it
You can rewrite the whole certificate; the course dates, duration and result 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. The design comes with three colour schemes (Navy & Teal, Burgundy & Gold and Slate & Sky), and every single colour can be changed. Text sizes adjust to fit, and you can choose another font for any line. There is an Arabic edition too, laid out right to left with Scheherazade New.
Printing tips
A cream, linen-textured paper of around 120 lb text (180 gsm) suits this classic layout. Download the PDF at the paper size you will print on (A4 or US Letter) and set the printer to “Actual size” or 100%. It fits a standard certificate frame or a document folder.
