A diploma template is the formal record that a student has finished a full course of study. High schools, colleges, academies and training institutes give it at graduation, and families often frame it and keep it for life, so the wording is traditional and the signatures carry weight.
A proper diploma names the school, the graduate, the program or level, the date of conferral and the signatures of the principal or president and the registrar. A seal or ribbon adds to the occasion. Each diploma certificate template here comes as a landscape and a portrait page with a matching badge, so the graduate gets a printed diploma and a digital one that can be checked online.
