Design notes

Here the tall page is composed as a book's final page with more steps than the landscape. The logo and organisation sit at the top over CERTIFICATE and an italic of Completion; then the name, the program, a statement and four requirements, each line a little shorter than the one above, narrow to a larger ivy tailpiece and Finis. At the foot, a colophon block holds two signatures with the QR code between them, then the issue date, credential ID, duration, level and format. It fits schools, colleges and anyone who wants a formal, literary record.

About

Certificate of Completion Template, Finis Portrait

Portrait is the natural shape for a record that goes into a binder or a portfolio. High schools give a certificate of completion to students who finish a program or a course of study, colleges and adult education centres give one at the end of a short course, and employers file it with training records. On an upright page it reads like a document rather than a poster.

Wording on the template“For successfully completing all program requirements: twenty hours of core modules, practical assignments, a final assessment and a capstone project, each finished to the required standard.”

Post for the recipient to share

I have just completed a twenty-hour professional development program: core modules, practical assignments and a final assessment, all done alongside my day job. It was a lot of evenings, and I am proud to have finished every part of it. Here is my certificate of completion. Thank you to the instructors for their feedback along the way. #ProfessionalDevelopment #Learning

Printing

Printing it well

Print at actual size

Choose “Actual size” or 100% in the print dialog, not “Fit to page”, so the margins and the QR code keep their size.

Use card, not paper

A matte or silk card of 200–300 gsm (about 80–110 lb cover) feels like an award and does not curl in a frame.

Frame it

A4 fits a standard 21 × 29.7 cm frame; US Letter fits an 8.5 × 11 in frame, or an 11 × 14 in frame with a mat. Hang it upright, as designed.

Mind the edges

Most home printers leave a thin white border. For a design that runs to the edge, use a print shop or your printer’s borderless setting.
