FAQ
How do I create a workshop participation certificate?
Select any design from the selection of templates above. Add the name of the participant in the first line. Next, add “for participating in the X workshop” with short details about the workshop. Add the date the workshop took place.
How do I create a certificate without a name?
When creating a printable certificate of participation award for a large number of participants you may not want to include each person’s name. It simply complicates the production and distribution and you might not even know who is going to participate ahead of time. You can adapt the award template so that it does not include the participant’s name. To do so, open the certificate maker. Select any template. Delete the line that relates to the person’s name (i.e. to). Please note that the templates above might be less relevant since the word “to” is not removable in each design. However, the certificate maker is totally flexible and will enable you to do this easily.
How to add your Logo
It is very easy to add your logo before you print. Click on the image icon and select the file with your logo. Move it to wherever it should appear.
What is the correct format for a certificate of participation?
It really depends on the purpose or the event. If it is for a conference, workshop, or for school you might need it to be more formal. An event certificate will depend on how formal the event is. However, if it is for a fun activity such as a parent participation award, it can be fun and less formal. Select the certificate design that best suits your purpose.
How do I make a letter of participation template?
Some people might require a proof of participation letter. To create one, select one of the templates above (one of the versions with a button under it and not the PDF version). Delete the certificate border. This will create more of a letter style.
Can I change the wording?
Yes, each template has sample text with wording that will suit most circumstances. However, in the event that you want to make changes, you can edit all text. If you want to change the titles and sample text, then select a template with a button under it. Those designs are more flexible than the PDF versions and all text can be edited.
Can I add images?
The templates with a button under them have an option to add an image. You can also add an image to certificate templates created with our free online certificate maker. An image is useful to add a company logo or a related photo or image. For example, if you are creating a walkathon temple, you can add a photo from a previous event or a photo of someone walking.
Can I use these templates for participation in sports events?
Yes, you can. However, you might prefer to check out our sports awards for more specific themes. For example, if you need a football participation award then you might prefer to use a football award certificate. If you are looking for an award for participation in a swim event, then you might prefer our swimming certificates.
Can I use these templates to encourage participation?
Sometimes, we need to encourage people to do something that they might not necessarily do. A good example is getting parents to be more involved. One way to do this is to award them a parent participation award for minimal participation. This might encourage them to be more involved in the future. It also might set a good example for those parents who are less involved.
