Free Certificate of Completion Template with course name, hours and batch names

Yes. There is no sign-up, no trial, no watermark and no limit on printing. The certificates are drawn in your browser and the PDF or PNG goes straight to your device, so the names you type or paste are never uploaded. You can reuse it for every course you run, as many times as you like.

Include the title, the attendee's full name, a completion statement such as 'has successfully completed', the course name, the date, the issuer and a signature with the signer's title. Optional extras are the course hours, a location and a certificate number. Only add accreditation details if your course is really accredited. Keep the wording short enough to read at a glance, since the name and the course are what people look for.

A certificate of attendance shows that someone was present, often with a minimum attendance such as 80%. A certificate of completion says they finished a course or its requirements. Choose the wording that matches what you can honestly confirm. If a session had a quiz or a project, completion or achievement is the more accurate word.

Type the length in the Course hours field, for example '8 hours', '4 contact hours' or '2 days'. It prints under the course name. One IACET CEU equals 10 contact hours, but only an approved provider can award CEUs, so otherwise write plain hours. A multi-day course can use '2 days' or '16 hours' in the same field.

A certificate of completion is a record that a course was finished. It is not an accredited credential, a degree or a professional certification unless an approved body issued it. Whether an employer or regulator accepts it depends on them, so ask before you rely on it. Accreditation applies to institutions, and certification is a credential from a third party, which is a different thing.

Paste one name per line in the names box, or paste two or three columns from Excel or Google Sheets. Each line becomes one page, up to 100 in one PDF. A third column can hold a different completion date for each person. Use Remove duplicates if a name was pasted twice, and keep the original sheet so you can reprint later.

Most are full-page: US Letter (8.5 × 11 in) in the US and Canada, A4 (210 × 297 mm) in the UK, Australia and most of the world. Landscape is the usual direction, and portrait works for framed copies. The page sets a safe print margin, so a home printer does not crop the border.

The instructor, program director or head of the organization that ran the course signs it. Add the signer's name and title, and switch on signature lines so there is a ruled space for a handwritten signature after printing. Many organizations also add a second signature from the host, such as a manager or school principal.

Yes. Download the PDF, choose Actual size or 100%, print one test page on plain paper, then print on 24–32 lb (90–120 g/m²) paper or light cardstock. Keep the borderless option off so the border is not cropped. Colored borders use a lot of ink, so choose the black-and-white training design for big batches.

Yes. Names, dates and course details are only used to draw the certificates in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server, and closing the tab clears the list, so download the PDF if you want to print again.
