Certificate of Completion certificate templates and badges

The person's name, the program or course, a line saying what they completed, the date, and a signature with the signer's role. Add the hours or credits, the main requirements met and a credential number when the certificate may be checked later by an employer or a school.

No. A certificate of completion shows that someone finished a course or program. A professional certification usually means passing an exam set by a certifying body, and it often has to be renewed. Use clear wording so nobody mistakes one for the other.

In some school systems it is given to a student who finishes high school without meeting every requirement for a standard diploma, for example on an individual education program. Rules differ by state and district, so check what your school system allows before you use the term.

Yes. The instructor or program director knows that the person finished the work, so their signature is enough for most courses. Add a second signature from the head of the organisation when the certificate will go into a personnel or academic file and needs to look more formal.

Yes, if the person did everything the course asked, such as the modules, the assignments or a set number of hours. Say on the certificate what completion meant, so a reader knows whether an assessment was part of it.
