Free Certificate of Attendance Templates

A Certificate of Attendance is handed out to individuals that have attended a particular school, course, or training program. The certificate confirms that they were present and therefore, have received the necessary knowledge required to obtain the certificate.

Schools also often give out a Certificate of School Attendance to pupils with a particularly remarkable attendance record. This is done to reward those individuals that come to school, showing them that it is an important accomplishment – one that they should be proud of. It is important for schools to mark this record as there is a direct correlation between school attendance and academic results. Students that have full attendance are often presented with a Certificate of Perfect Attendance.

Whatever the reason for creating a Certificate of Attendance, it will always feel more special if that certificate has been personalized to reflect the student, school, or company. Acknowledging the efforts and commitment an individual has had will make them more likely to continue to do this and may even encourage others to follow.

How to Get a Certificate of Attendance?

Getting a Certificate of Attendance requires immaculate consistency in attendance. However, as a teacher, school, or any other organization, you first need to obtain the certificate. Rather than purchasing generic ready-made certificates, we highly recommend spending a little bit of your time and creating your very own, original Certificate of Attendance using an editable template.

After finding the right template for you, consider our top tips below:

• Include a title that will make it clear from first glance what the document is;
• Add a small phrase underneath the title explaining what the accomplishment is;
• Name the person who the certificate will be awarded to;
• State the name of the school, teacher, or organization that is issuing the certificate. You should consider using a company or school logo, if applicable as well as their name. If your school or organization have their own company colors, you should use these colors in the certificate;
• Include a short description of what the award has been given out for. If the individual has completed a particular course or training program, you need to state what it was and when it was completed;
• Include the date of issue. This can often differ from the date of completion;
• Sign the certificate and stamp it if your company or school has its own stamp.
