Uses for the printables

School certificates

Award school children for their achievements in the classroom or outside of it.

Workplace

Award employees for achievements at work to motivate them and the rest of the staff. Studies show that you should not award employees for things that they are expected to do as part of their job description but rather for achievements over and above what you expect of them.

Sports

Award sports achievements at sports clubs and schools. You award people for reaching a fitness goal, for a sports achievement, or for winning a game.

Community service award

Motivate volunteers with certificates awarding them for their achievements and showing your appreciation. Volunteers love to know their effort is appreciated and that their time is well spent.

Retirement

After years of service, an award certificate can help to commemorate the occasion and show appreciation for all work done over the years.

 

How to Print

Some people experience difficulties when printing certificate templates directly from the browser. We suggest you download the award certificate to your PC and then print it from there. Before you download your award certificate, proofread it. You don’t want to find a typo after you print it particularly if you are printing on quality paper or cardstock.

The Benefits of Giving Award Certificates

  • Award certificates promote excellence and encourage students or employees. Positive reinforcement is beneficial in education, at the workplace, or anywhere, really. It is a powerful tool that can motivate people to improve and excel.
  • Our certificate templates are very professional and they will look like you had them custom-made.
  • Recipients will be proud to display the certificate they received. It is tangible proof that their effort is noticed and appreciated. When awarding the certificate, it is an opportunity to say thank you, shake the recipient’s hand, and set a good example. You can have a photo taken of the handshake and share it internally to show your employees that you appreciate their efforts.
  • Motivate people by showing them that their effort didn’t go unnoticed.

  3. Gerard,
    Only the certificates that have a premium version can be downloaded without a watermark. These certificates do not yet have a premium version. If you send the link for the one that you wanted to use we will create a premium version for it.
