Training Certificate Template

Training certificates are records as well as rewards. Auditors and inspectors look for the course name, the date, the hours, the trainer and a unique number that ties back to your training log. The bulk generator can stamp each certificate with a number from your spreadsheet.

Tip: sign white paper with a black pen, photograph it, and upload. A transparent PNG looks best.

Questions people ask

Does a training certificate need an expiry date?

If the training must be refreshed (first aid, forklift, food hygiene), add a "valid until" date to the description so supervisors can check at a glance.

How do I add a unique certificate number?

Add a column such as cert_no to your spreadsheet and include {cert_no} in the description text in the bulk generator.

Is a self-made training certificate valid?

It is valid as your organisation's record of internal training. Regulated qualifications (for example OSHA cards) must come from the authorised provider.
