Quick Customizing Tips
Replace the sample text with your institution’s name, the recipient’s name, the event or period and the date. For training certificates, include the number of hours, which can matter for professional development records. Finish with a signature and, if you have one, an official seal.
Printing for a whole class? Use Word’s Mail Merge with a list of names to create every certificate in one go.
For more designs, see our attendance certificate templates. Recognize grades with an honor roll certificate, keep a record of who showed up with a sign-in sheet, and welcome new members with a membership certificate.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should a certificate of attendance include?
The recipient’s name, the event or period attended, dates, the organizer’s name, and an authorized signature.
Is a certificate of attendance proof of completion?
Not always. It shows the person attended. Completion certificates usually require passing an assessment or meeting other requirements.
Can I print these on colored paper?
Yes, but light colors work best so text stays readable. Cream or parchment cardstock is a popular choice.
