Certificates Of Participation: Trophies Of The Professional Achiever

By Tanisha Berg


Modern industries sometimes need people with rare or highly specialized skills which cannot be obtained through the more formal educational channels. Training is only available at smaller, lesser known institutions. This does not make the expertise in question any less necessary, and jobseekers need to have acceptable proof that they are qualified. Regardless of the nature or prevalence of your skill, your certificates of participation should create the right impression and prove your abilities.

Certain fundamental aspects of design need to be incorporated in certificates. These will ensure that the final document has an official appearance, so as to evoke greater or easier recognition of the qualification. Most of these aspects are simple to include if the qualification is sought after in its industry and the issuer is an officially authorized training provider.

To start with, the nature of the paper that the document is printed on is a factor in the impression that it creates. Thicker, sturdier paper typically elicits a more positive response, and is also more permanent in that it is harder to damage or fold. The thicker a certificate, the more impressive. It seems appropriate that a qualification should be printed on high quality paper.

The nature of the printing is also important. Basic black text on ordinary white paper is not always entirely persuasive. It would not make much difference to give the trainee a reference letter. Poor printing sometimes creates the impression that the document is not authentic or that the institution that issued it does not exist. Handwritten pages are not advisable.

In order to be effective, the document should present only the most important details. The receiver's surname and full names, the coat of arms and name of the organization, and the designation of the training course and its date of completion are the essential items. More than that, the pass result may be included if it is particularly impressive.

Besides those items, it is also essential to provide the official registration information of the course or institution. Industry codes are important in this regard, and should always be present. If the institution is not widely known, its registration number and physical location should also be shown. The official registration data indicate that the qualification is entirely valid and may even be checked by those who see it.

More advanced stylistic devices, such as embossing, watermarks or fancy text are not essential. They are typical of documents issued by the bigger, more conventional institutions and smaller, more obscure operations may even be criticized for trying to be too ostentatious.

People may easily raise the issue that these essential design features involve added expense. It is true that better paper has a higher price, and color printing is far more expensive than black and white. Even so, a high quality certificate is worth paying for because the impression that the document makes may lead to its immediate acceptance or rejection by those it is submitted to. An impressive certificate endows its holder with a greater sense of success, and is the subject of compliments from other people.
