Design notes

The portrait page puts that measure in the middle. An engraved boxwood rule lies across it as the divider, graduated in hours on top and in red CEUs underneath, and a slide-rule cursor marks the course's reading, with the large figures 8.0 and 0.8 standing just above. The upper half holds the title, the name and the program; the lower half holds the statement, the topics covered, the format, the issue date and the credential ID. Two signatures and a QR code close the page. The tall format fits a binder of renewal records or a frame in a clinic or office.

About

CE Certificate Template, Boxwood Rule Portrait

When a professional finishes a workshop, webinar or conference session for credit, the provider gives them a record they keep for their next licence or membership renewal. A good certificate of continuing education completion names the activity, says what was required to earn the credit, and gives the credit in contact hours and in CEUs, at 0.1 CEU for each hour.

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 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.
