What is a certificate?

A printable award certificate with a recipient, a reason, a date and a signature line.

Fill in the recipient, award title and signature line to produce an elegant certificate ready to print or send as PDF. Celebrate student achievements, close out courses and workshops, or add customizable award templates to your printable product line.

How to make one

  1. Set the heading — the type of award.
  2. Enter the recipient's name, and check the spelling.
  3. Write the body text: the specific reason. This is the field that decides whether it gets kept.
  4. Add the date of the achievement and a signer, then export in landscape.

What people use it for

Questions

What should the body text say?

Something specific. "For Excellent Work" is true of everyone and remembered by nobody; "for explaining long division to three classmates who were stuck" names an afternoon the child remembers. If the certificate could be handed to any child without changing a word, it will be treated accordingly.

What paper and orientation?

Landscape, on the heaviest paper available, one per page. Export as PDF — the type is large, so a soft print is immediately obvious.

Any advice for a whole class?

Write all the body texts in one sitting. Writing them one at a time between other tasks is how half of them end up saying "For Excellent Work".

Print it or play it

Export as a US Letter PDF for print, or as PNG/JPG for image-based layouts. Amazon KDP supports multiple trim sizes, including 8.5 × 11 inches for applicable books; build the final interior to the trim size you selected and keep raster artwork at 300 DPI. There is also a grid-only export if you are dropping the puzzle into your own page layout.
