Use cases
Who ends up making the certificates
Almost never a designer. Usually a teacher, a coordinator, or a volunteer, working against a deadline with no budget.
By role
-
Certificates for teachers
End-of-term awards, reading challenges, sports day, the child who finally cracked long division. Made in a browser, printed on the staff room printer.
-
Certificates for HR and people teams
Service milestones, monthly recognition, training completion, the leaving do. The certificates a people team needs occasionally and urgently.
-
Certificates for webinars and events
Attendance certificates for webinars, workshops, and conferences — the thing attendees ask for afterwards and nobody planned for.
-
Certificates for nonprofits and volunteers
Volunteer hours, service milestones, and thank-yous for people who gave their time. Free, because the budget is going somewhere more useful.
-
Certificates for sports clubs and teams
Player of the season, tournament entrants, the swimmer who finally made 400m. Made between the match and the presentation night.
-
Certificates for kids' clubs and camps
Dance recitals, grading days, holiday club graduations, the child who turned up every week all summer. Made the night before, on a home printer.
Industries

Merit awards, attendance, house points, end of year. A whole-school certificate supply that costs nothing and needs no software install.
