Design notes

In this landscape design an engraved boxwood rule crosses the page and runs off its right edge, with hours along the top and CEUs in red along the bottom. A slide-rule cursor stops on this course's credit, and the reading above it (CONTACT HOURS 8.0, CEUs 0.8) can be changed to match any activity. Above the rule are the title, the name and the program. Below it sit what the credit was awarded for, four topics covered, the format, the issue date and the credential ID, then two signatures and a QR code. It suits providers who want the hours to be the first thing an auditor sees.

About

CEU Certificate Template, Boxwood Rule Landscape

Continuing education is the one kind of training that is measured, and every CE certificate states that measure twice: in contact hours and in continuing education units, where one CEU stands for ten hours of instructed learning. Licensing boards and employers ask for these records when a nurse, engineer, accountant or social worker renews, so providers such as colleges, associations and training firms issue a certificate after each course.

Wording on the template“Completion of every requirement of this continuing education activity: attendance for all contact hours of instruction and a passing score on the final knowledge assessment.”

Post for the recipient to share

I have just completed an eight-hour continuing education course and earned 0.8 CEUs toward my next licence renewal. The case studies were practical, and I am already using some of the ideas in my daily work. Thanks to the instructors for a well-organised course. #ContinuingEducation #ProfessionalDevelopment

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 on its side, 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.
