Customizing Certificates

Upon successfully completing a course, students are awarded a certificate. You can use the default design provided by VR Systems, or you can upload a PNG or JPG file showing the design of your county's choice. You can also customize the student certificate appearance by including custom text and dynamic fields.

Prior to printing your completed certificate you'll want to make sure your settings are correct.

  1. In Print Preview, Page Setup, or in the Print dialog box, set your page layout to Landscape.


  2. Under more options, set the Scale field to 100% or Shrink to Fit.
  3. Set the Margins field to 0.5" or less.
  4. Optionally, remove headers and footers by disabling the checkbox for Headers and Footers or setting the field as --blank--.
