Free for up to 20 recipients a year
A course completion badge template gives you a ready design for the small digital award a learner gets the moment a course is done. Online course platforms, training providers, company academies and universities with short courses issue these badges after the last module and the final assessment, so the learner has something to show on a LinkedIn profile, in an email signature or in a digital portfolio.
A good completion badge is simple enough to read at thumbnail size: the course name, the issuer and a clear sign that the course is finished. Behind the image, a digital badge carries the details a reader needs to trust it: who issued it, what the learner had to do, and the date. Many providers also give a full course completion certificate with the hours, the modules and a signature.
The designs here come as badges and as certificates in A4 and US Letter, so you can issue a matching pair from one course.

FAQ
Questions, answered
It depends on who will read it. The badge is made to be shared online, on a profile or in a signature. A full certificate page with the hours, modules, signature and credential ID is easier to print or attach to an application, so many providers issue both for the same course.
State exactly what the learner did: for example, completed all six modules, passed the final quiz with 70% or more, and submitted the practical assignment. Clear criteria let an employer understand the badge without contacting you.
Not always. Many providers use one design for all courses and change only the course name, so their badges look like a family. A flagship program or a course series can have its own design to stand out.
Most add it to the Licenses and Certifications section of LinkedIn, an email signature, a CV or an online portfolio. Each place links back to the badge's page, where anyone can see the issuer and check that it is real.
Yes. Providers often group short courses into a learning path: each course earns its own badge, and a learner who collects all of them receives a higher badge or certificate for the full path.
