Free Degree Certificate Templates

Degree certificate templates are a great way to add value for many small business owners and private educators. From gym owners and personal trainers to preschool teachers and business leaders, if your facility runs a training program that includes incremental milestones that culminate in course completion, then including a certificate program as part of your culture can show your people the value you give their achievements. Get ready to find your next job and create an impressive resume.

Degree Certificate Uses

Degree certificates are useful in many professions, including:
  • Personal Training

    – At the beginning of any personal training regimen, the client and trainer decide on a series of goals. Whether those goals include running a marathon, dropping pant sizes, or lifting heavier weights, clients work hard for months or even years to achieve them. These accomplishments should be celebrated. The inclusion of a professional looking degree certificate in that celebration can give clients a memento that not only looks great if they choose to display it, but can also list all the details of their achievement.
  • Tutoring and Preschool Teaching

    – Preschool and pre-kindergarten don’t have accredited programs with bona fide degrees. However, parents—and children, after they’ve grown—will love having a degree certificate to hang on their wall or just to keep in their memory box. Tutors, as well, are often hired for a set period of time or to cover a certain amount of material. What better way to show young clients and their parents that you appreciate their efforts, and the trust they place in you, than with a small celebration that includes an official handing-over of a degree certificate?
  • Business or Safety Training

    – Training classes are a part of the business world. Not all of these classes are enjoyable. Sometimes employees forget the importance of mandatory training, or think employers are meeting a legal obligation without taking the training seriously. A training program that includes certificates of completion for individual classes, and degree certificates for the completion of entire courses, will help show employees that the company values both the employee’s time and the company’s own training.
  • Stage Productions

    – Whether you’re running a theatre for a high school, a small community, or an even larger production, there will be times that characters or settings have diplomas. For larger productions, our degree certificates are both customizable and professional, and would add to the décor of any set. For smaller productions, the degree certificates are free to print, and so are affordable on even the smallest budget.
  • Novelty Diplomas

    – Whether you like to pull elaborate pranks or give eccentric novelty gifts, you will find an original certificate template for your imaginary degree program in the selection below. The templates are customizable, and so you can create an entire alternate study history for your gift recipient—high school in Hong Kong, courses completed in New England’s finest universities, and a master degree in Europe, for example.
