What a Good Certificate Contains
- Header line — “This certifies that” vs “Awarded to” sets the formality.
- Recipient — full name, prominent.
- Reason — 2–4 sentences max; the certificate is the artifact, not the transcript.
- Date + signatory — both anchor authenticity.
Avoid These Pitfalls
- Vague reasons — “for participation in our program” (which program? when?).
- Missing fields — no date, organization or signatory makes it feel fake.
- Passive overload — “It is hereby certified that completion has been made” → “This certifies that [Name] completed…”.
