For seminars, webinars and workshops
Companies, LGUs, cooperatives and associations give a certificate to everyone who stayed for the whole program. HR offices file it in the 201 file as proof of training; job seekers attach it to applications. State the hours — the reader wants to know if it was a one-hour talk or a full-day workshop.
For a webinar, write the platform as the venue ("via Zoom") and give certificates only to those who stayed until the end — the attendance log or the post-event form is your proof.
What a certificate of attendance must state
Whoever reads it later — an HR officer, a school registrar, a scholarship committee — looks for the same few things.
- The participant's full name, spelled as on their school or company records.
- The exact title of the seminar, webinar or event.
- The date (and the hours, for a training or seminar) and the venue or platform.
- The organizer's name and contact details, so it can be checked.
- The date given, and two signatures with printed names and positions.
Mistakes that make a certificate look made-up
Check these before you print a stack.
- A misspelled name or a nickname instead of the full name.
- No organizer details, no logo, or a signature without a printed name under it.
- A date that does not match the event's program or invitation.
- Words like "CPD units" or "accredited" when the event is not.
Questions people ask
Who should sign a certificate of attendance?
The person who can vouch that the participant was there: the head of the organizing office or school, and the resource speaker, event coordinator or adviser. Two signatures make it harder to question.
Does a certificate of attendance count for PRC CPD units?
Only when the seminar is given by a PRC-accredited CPD provider for an accredited program, and the provider issues its own certificate with the program number and credit units. A certificate made here proves attendance; it does not grant CPD units.
Can I make one certificate for each participant?
Yes. Type the first name, download, then change the name and download again — the event details stay. Save it to My Desk to come back for the next batch.
What is the QR seal for?
Employers and schools sometimes doubt a printed certificate. With a seal, they scan the code and see who issued it, to whom and when — and that it was not changed after sealing.
