Certificate of Completion
We offer a free certificate of completion template you can customize online before you print. There are many designs available. You can edit all text and add a logo or image.
A certificate of completion is a document that is given to the recipient to acknowledge their completion of an event, course, program, or another type of training. It recognizes skills and knowledge that have been acquired. The certificate should include the name of the recipient, the title or description of the course they completed, and the date of completion. It can be used to show potential employers that you have attained skills, knowledge, and certifications in a certain field.
You can edit the title of each template. For example, instead of “Certificate of Completion” you can write “Certificate of Substantial Completion” or “Training Completion Certificate”. On the templates, with colored ribbons, you can also select the award ribbon.
Certificate Wording
What information should the template include?
You can customize the award in any way you see fit. However, we suggest that you include the following information: the name of the institution presenting the award, the name of the recipient, the name of the course or program completed, the signature of the person with authority to issue the certificate, and the date. You can add additional information such as the level achieved, the duration of the program, or a summary of the syllabus. To create a professional-looking template include your school or institution’s logo. To add a logo, click on the image icon.
If you are creating a specific award such as a certificate of training completion then you will want to write a short description of what was included in the training. You might want to add the number of hours, the topics covered and any certification received.
