What this template covers

The certificate uses a landscape A4 layout with formal serif typography: the issuing organisation at the top, a large heading, the recipient's name as the centrepiece, and a citation line reading: “has successfully completed [COURSE / PROGRAMME NAME], consisting of [DURATION / HOURS], conducted from [START DATE] to [END DATE].”. Date and signatory blocks sit at the bottom. It prints cleanly in colour or black and white.

Frequently asked questions

How do I print the Certificate of Completion?

Print the PDF on A4 in landscape orientation. For best results use thicker paper (160–250gsm card stock) and select 'Actual size' rather than 'Fit to page'.

Can I change the fonts and colours?

Yes. Open the Word version — the text styling is plain formatting, so you can match it to your brand in a few clicks.

Is the Certificate of Completion really free?

Yes — free for personal and business use, with no signup and no watermark. You may not resell or republish the template itself, but documents you create with it are entirely yours.
