Certificates Of Participation: Passports To Employment And Promotion

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.

In assessing certificates, there are certain primary features which need to be taken note of. These design elements cause the document to appear as more official, and thus elicit greater appreciation for the certified qualification. The majority of these elements are simple to include in cases where the training is officially accredited and is sought-after in its home industry.
Firstly, the paper that the document uses must be of a relatively higher quality than usual. People have a habit of regarding thicker, sturdier paper with more respect. It encourages a better response. It is also more durable, because it does not rip or crinkle as easily. A thick certificate makes an immediate impression. It may sometimes be seen as proper that a professional qualification is certified using more expensive paper.

The degree of sophistication in the printed text is another aspect that requires attention. Standard black and white printing on normal copier paper is hardly remarkable. It may even be seen as excessive, because a simple letter of reference would have sufficed. The worse the printing, the harder it is to persuade others that the document is in fact genuine. Certificates should not be handwritten.

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.

In the case of officially regulated training, the institution's registration details should always appear. Where the latter is not prominent, its geographical location should accompany such particulars. Standard industry terms and serial numbers should be used to describe the course itself, for ease of reference. The official registration information can then be confirmed by anyone who desires to.

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.

It is possible to oppose the features described here on the basis of their expense. Quality paper costs more and color printing is expensive. But then again, these costs are offset by their contribution to the positive image of the issuing institution and in some cases the quality (or lack thereof) of the certificate may cause it to be immediately accepted or thrown out by those who inspect it. An attractive certificate also allows its recipient to have an enhanced sense of accomplishment, and is admired by those who see it.
