How do you make a certificate for training?

Open the generator on this page, which starts with training wording, then enter your organisation, the participant, the course title with its hours, the date and the trainer. Download a PDF to print or a PNG to email, free and without login.

How do participants download their training certificate?

They get it from whoever ran the training, so plan the hand-over: printed copies at the last session, an email with each person's file, or, in DynaPictures, an online form where each participant types their name and downloads their own certificate.

Can a training certificate name any course?

Yes. The line under the name takes any subject your organisation teaches, from leadership, digital marketing and accounting to cloud computing, networking or entrepreneurship. Write the title as participants know it and add the hours.

Who should sign a training certificate?

The trainer who delivered it, and often a head of training, HR manager or director for the organisation. Each signatory gets a line to sign by hand, with the typed name and role underneath.

Is a training certificate the same as a certificate of completion?

They overlap. Training certificate is the usual name for workplace and professional training, often a day or two long, while a certificate of completion more often closes a longer course with assignments or a final test.

Training certificate wording for any course subject

Participants keep training certificates for appraisals and their own records, so the course, the hours and the trainer matter most.

Element	What to write
Title	Training Certificate, or Certificate of Training for a more formal tone.
Line above the name	“This is to certify that” reads well for formal training; “This certifies that” is shorter and just as clear.
Training title	The course name as it appeared in the invitation, plus the format: workshop, course, bootcamp or e-learning.
Duration and dates	Hours or days, and the date or date range. Hours count for anyone who logs professional development.
Training provider	Your organisation or training company with its logo. If you trained a client's staff, name the client in the line under the name.
Trainer and approver	The trainer signs, and a head of training or HR manager signs for the organisation.

Training certificate FAQ

A certificate an employer, training company or trainer gives to people who completed a training session or programme, also called a training completion certificate. It names the training, its length and who delivered it, and records the training rather than an accredited qualification.
