Academic certificates for results and distinctions
Academic certificates recognise subject results, distinctions, top-of-class performance and subject prizes. Schools and colleges issue them at prize-giving and end-of-year ceremonies, and students keep them in portfolios for admissions. This academic certificate maker uses formal designs and wording suited to the institution, the subject and the academic year. Academic certificates outlive almost every other document a school issues. They resurface at admissions interviews and job applications a decade on, which is why the institution name and the academic year matter more than the border does. There are seventy landscape academic designs - fifty premium and twenty classic - opening with “Certificate of Academic Achievement”. Student names are handled in your browser.

Prize-giving and portfolios
For a prize-giving ceremony, prepare one spreadsheet with student, award and subject and generate the set together, so wording and design are consistent across departments. Students applying to selective schools or universities often include certificates in portfolios, so use the institution's full name and crest and have the principal or head of department sign.
