Certificates
Do you want to wrap up your seminar, course, section or masterclass with a certificate of participation to give to your participants? The Traffic Team has created a handy template that lets you create a professional-looking certificate in no time.
Follow this step-by-step plan to create certificates:
- Download the zip file. It contains two Word documents; you can choose a landscape or portrait certificate.
- Open the preferred version of these two formats.
- Select the language by switching between Certificate and Certificaat at the top.
- Fill in the pre-defined fields with the relevant details. Make sure to double-check for any typos or formatting issues.
- Save the completed certificate: Then, save the file as a PDF to keep the layout consistent when printing.
Tip: If you’re creating multiple certificates, consider saving a version for each participant using their name in the file name (e.g. Certificate_Anna_Jansen.pdf) so they’re easy to find later.
