When to use it
- Generating a certificate for a student who has completed a course
- Designing a new certificate template for a program
- Bulk-generating certificates for an entire graduating cohort
- Adding verifiable digital credentials or badge links
- Creating certificates for partial completions (modules, milestones)
- Producing certificates in multiple languages for international students
Mistakes to avoid
- Misspelled names: Always verify names against official records — corrections after printing are embarrassing and time-consuming
- Wrong dates: Use the actual completion date, not the certificate generation date
- Generic design: The certificate represents the program — it should look professional and branded, not like a Word template
- No verification method: Without a certificate ID and verification system, credentials can't be authenticated — this reduces their value
- Not recording issuance: If a student loses their certificate, you need to be able to re-issue it from records
- Jurisdictional issues: For regulated professions, verify that your certificate format meets local requirements
