Design notes

The portrait format turns the page into a full manuscript sheet: two tall genko yoshi columns of twenty squares stand at the right, the real count of a student's page, and にほんご runs down the first one inside a vermilion brush loop, the mark a teacher draws round correct work. The wide left field carries the title in two lines, the name, a statement, the course, the skills in two columns, the duration, level, date and credential ID beside the QR code, and two signatures. A portrait sheet fits a binder or a classroom wall and suits schools that file their records upright.

About

Japanese Language Certificate Template, Manuscript Sheet

Schools that teach Japanese, from community classes to university language centres, close every level with a certificate that records what the learner can now do. For a beginner that usually means reading and writing both kana scripts, recognising basic kanji, following everyday speech and using the polite forms of keigo; many courses also name the JLPT level they lead towards, such as N5 or N4.

Wording on the template“has completed 60 hours of Japanese language study, learning to read and write hiragana, katakana and a first set of kanji, to understand everyday spoken Japanese, and to hold simple conversations in polite, natural Japanese.”

Post for the recipient to share

I have just completed a 60-hour Japanese course. Six months ago hiragana looked like a puzzle; now I can read both kana scripts, write my first kanji and introduce myself in polite Japanese. Thank you to my teacher for every patient correction and to my classmates for the practice. Next step: JLPT N5. #Japanese #LanguageLearning

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.
