📌 Certificate Number Shortcodes

When setting up a certificate number, you can use the following shortcodes:

  • [year] (optional) — automatically inserts the year the certificate was issued

  • [#] (required) — unique certificate ID in the system

💡 You can add any other symbols to the shortcodes

⚠️ The maximum length of the certificate number is 30 characters

📌 Examples of Certificate Number Formats

  • [year]/[#]№ 2025/434912

  • [#]/[year]№ 434912/2025

  • [#]№ 434912

💡On the certificate design, you can display the final number format without square brackets

📌 Course title

  • Alignment can be centered, left, or right

  • Preferably written in a single line

  • Automatic line wrapping is allowed only if the text doesn’t fit in one line

  • Do not manually break the line after a specific word or letter

  • Quotation marks or other decorative elements may be added before/after the text

📌 Learner’s full name

  • Format: First Name Last Name

  • One space between the first and last name

  • Alignment can be centered, left, or right

  • Must be in a single line if it fits

  • Line wrapping is only allowed if the name doesn’t fit in one line

  • Do not manually break the line after a specific word or letter

  • Quotation marks or other decorative elements may be added before/after the text

💡If the certificate contains a QR code — make sure it is easily scannable. Designers may enlarge the QR code if scanning issues occur.
