Understanding

What's a Certificate?

A certificate is a document that officially recognizes an achievement, a participation or a qualification. It shows the recipient's name, what they accomplished, the date and the signature of the issuing organization.


Organizations issue certificates all the time, from course completions and event participations to awards and employment certificates. Each design is created once and reused for every recipient, which makes certificates a natural fit for automation.
