As mentioned, you can customize most of the award certificates on this site. You can change the heading and the text. Therefore, you can use them for any purpose. Here are some ideas to create your own certificate:
If you don’t have 3 minutes to use our certificate generator, then you can print a blank certificate template and fill in the details in your handwriting. If you need an official-looking certificate, then we suggest that you take a few minutes to type in the details before you print it for a more professional look.
You can print a certificate at home, and there is no need to have it professionally printed. We suggest you print certificate awards on quality paper to give them a professional look. However, you can print them on regular paper and have them framed.
If you are giving printed certificates by hand, then they should be printed on cardstock or paper that is heavier than regular printer paper.
When printing a certificate we suggest you first download the file to your PC and then print from there. There is a print icon that will allow you to print directly but the certificate does not always fit on one page. This can be avoided by downloading the image first.
