Mandarin Chinese certificate templates and badges
3 free designs. A set is one design as a badge, a landscape or a portrait certificate, or all three.
Free for up to 20 recipients a year
Language schools, university language centres, cultural associations and private tutors use a Chinese course certificate template to close a block of Mandarin study: a ten-week evening class, a summer programme in Beijing or Taipei, a semester of university Chinese or a course run by an employer for staff who work with partners in China. The certificate is given at the last lesson or after the final test, to every learner who completed the course.
A good Mandarin certificate is a short record of what the learner can now do. It names the course and the hours, the level reached (often matched to the HSK scale), and the skills practised, such as pinyin and the four tones, reading and writing basic characters, and everyday conversation. It carries the date, a credential ID and the signature of the teacher or the programme director.
The designs come as certificates in A4 and US Letter and as digital badges that learners can share online and anyone can verify.

FAQ
Questions, answered
No. The HSK is the official Chinese proficiency test, set by an organisation under China's Ministry of Education and taken at approved test centres. A course certificate is issued by your school or teacher and records the course, the hours and the level reached. It sits well beside an HSK result but does not replace one.
Only write an HSK level if the learner passed that HSK test. Otherwise, describe the course as "at HSK 2 level" or name the course level (Beginner, Elementary, Intermediate), so the certificate does not claim a test result that was never taken.
Use the script the course taught. Courses in mainland China and most courses abroad teach Simplified characters; courses in Taiwan and Hong Kong use Traditional. If you add the learner's Chinese name or a line in Chinese, write it in the same script, and say which one in the skills or the course details.
Only if the learner has one they use and they agree to it. Many teachers give students a Chinese name in the first weeks of a course. Put it next to the legal name, never in place of it, so employers and schools can match the certificate to the person.
List what the course actually practised and tested: pinyin and tones, listening, speaking, reading characters, handwriting or typing, measure words and grammar points. Three to six short items are enough. A number of characters learned, such as 300, is a clear and honest measure of progress for beginners.
