The certificate
Each certificate is a landscape, A4-ratio PDF designed to look the part — clean engraved type, a ruled border, and the details that matter. It carries your brand from the first glance.
Your logo, set as the masthead
Upload your store logo and it sits at the top of every certificate you issue.
Your brand color as the ink
Set one accent color and it threads through the border, rules, and seal — so the diploma reads as yours, not a template.
Your signature
Add a signature image, or type a name and have it set in an elegant script. It signs every diploma for you.
A wax-seal monogram & an optional score
A seal carries your store's initials. When the credential includes graded work, the overall score is printed too.

Issued automatically
There's nothing for you to send. When a student reaches the finish line, the certificate is waiting for them to claim from the student portal.
When a student completes every lesson in a course — and passes the final exam, if one is attached — the certificate unlocks.
Exams sold on their own can award a certificate too. Pass the sitting and the credential is issued, no course required.
The student opens their portal, claims the certificate, and downloads the PDF — ready to print, frame, or share.
Certificates are set up per course, so you decide which courses and exams award one. See how courses work.
Included
Free
Turn certificates on for a course and every graduate gets one at no extra charge.
Paid certificate
You set it
Charge for the credential and let students buy it once they've earned the right to.
Free or paid
Certificates are a per-course switch. Leave it on and include the diploma with the course, or charge for it — useful when the credential itself is the thing people want.
Public verification
Every certificate carries a unique number and a public verification page. An employer, an admissions office, or anyone holding the PDF can open it and confirm the credential is real — no account, no login.
Issued by Riverside Pottery Studio via Chapters
Manage
You see a registry of everything you've issued; your students see the certificates they've earned. Both sides have what they need.
Every credential you've issued, searchable in one place — by student, course, or certificate number. Look up any diploma in seconds.
Each student has their own list of earned certificates in the portal — to download the PDF, or share the verification link with anyone.
Good to know
So you know exactly what you're getting before you switch certificates on.
Certificate names are rendered in Latin characters, so they read cleanly in the engraved type.
The engraved layout stays the same. What changes is yours: logo, brand color, signature, seal initials, and the text.
The score line appears only when there's graded work — like a final exam. Completion-only certificates simply omit it.
