Digital Badging: Tips and Steps for Implementation

<p><span style="background-color: transparent;">Times New Roman and Sans-Serif fonts are decent ones that have their fans.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">But let’s face it – for your personal signature, you need something more – curves, modern calligraphy style, some non-ideal elements that mimic handwriting. Whatever it is, the sheriff, ideal fonts will never give you this handwriting vibe on your certificates.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">You can do it with no effort!</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">No external tools, no creating fonts from scratch, just a few clicks instead, and your certificate is left with an effective signature that may look like your own. Let’s move on to the details.</span></p><h2><span style="background-color: transparent;">Why add your signature to certificates? { Why add your signature to certificates? }</span></h2><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">Before we move to the fonts themselves, here is why it’s a good idea to add a signature to a certificate. Consider these aspects:</span></p><h3><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(67, 67, 67);">Security&nbsp;</span></h3><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">It’s safer than you think. Particularly compared to a handwritten signature that can be copied easily, and this is one step from committing fraud. With a font signature or digital tools, you protect your signature from being stolen or changed.</span></p><h3><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(67, 67, 67);">Ease of use</span></h3><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">When was the last time you had to sign multiple documents? Tiring, right? Now, all you need to do is a single click, and your signature lands perfectly on every certificate. That's the magic of a signature font. No more hand cramps or uneven signatures. As easy as flipping a light switch.</span></p><h3><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(67, 67, 67);">Instant, anytime</span></h3><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">Using beautiful signature script fonts is a one-time task, but its benefits last forever. Once you choose your favorite, it's ready to go anytime, anywhere. No need for a pen or the right surface. You're always just a click away from placing your digital mark.</span></p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent;">Sounds great, doesn’t it?

Does it match your personal style? Go for it, then.</span></p><h2><span style="background-color: transparent;">#5 Great Vibes { #5 Great Vibes }</span></h2><p><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/certifier/image/upload/v1706701551/fonts_that_look_like_signature_Certifier_blog_Great_Vibes_3715da3eb0.png" alt="Great Vibes font that look like signature."></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">It’s another font that looks like authentic handwriting, thanks to the beautiful ligatures, and not only that.

And that is a great thing – to have the focus on your name, right?</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">Kalam also features alternate letters (multi-language support). This flexibility and uniqueness is a plus when creating graphic designs like certificates with a foreign name, for instance.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">This font may be a go-to option for a professional email signature or any other type of digital signature.</span></p><p>${{ section-yellow-start }}</p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent;">Quick tip:</strong><span style="background-color: transparent;"> If your certificate has a busy background, it’s better to consider less curvy fonts like Kalam, so the overall credential project design doesn’t look cluttered.</span></p><p>${{ section-yellow-end }}</p><h2><span style="background-color: transparent;">#7 Marck Script { #7 Marck Script }</span></h2><p><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/certifier/image/upload/v1706701552/fonts_that_look_like_signature_Certifier_blog_Marck_Script_5fb8d0f583.png" alt="Marck Script font that look like signature."></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">Marck Script is a handwritten typeface that brings a personal touch to certificates.

While this method might take a little extra time, it'll still save you a ton of hassle compared to doing it all manually.</p><p>There are a few different ways you can create online badges using Google Drive. There is only one Google tool that can be used to create badges – Google Slides. Be careful, though. It’ll be quite limited.</p><p>If you need some help on how to create Google Slides, this article might help you out: <a href="https://certifier.io/blog/how-to-make-google-slides-certificates-in-5-steps" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">How to Make Google Slides Certificate in 5 Steps</a>.

Click “Responses” and then “Link to Sheets” – thanks to that, e.g., after registering via a form, all your recipients' data (with an email address) will be stored here.&nbsp;</p><p>The last step is to add an AutoCrat add-on so that you’ll be able to send badges by using your Gmail account. You can choose to send certificates right away as soon as someone fills out the form, or you can schedule them to be sent at a specific time.</p><p>This option may not be the perfect one, and there are some pitfalls to watch out for, but it's still possible to optimize it so that it works.</p><h2>Option 03: Sending badges manually along with an online badge maker { Option 03: Sending manually }</h2><p>Here it is – the last, the most time-consuming option. The method will work if you have a few badges to send. But, if you have a lot that you want to customize individually, it might take too much of your energy.</p><p>To begin with, you need to find an appropriate design credentials tool. You can use such tools as Figma, Canva, and Adobe or just order the design from a graphic designer. Basically, you need to enter the recipients' data manually and prepare each design separately (unless you use one design for all recipients).</p><p>${{ list-item-checkmark-yellow-start }}</p><p>Generate a customized link for each badge (e.g., via a folder in Google Drive).

<p class="ql-align-justify"><span style="background-color: transparent;">Do you want to make your certification program but don’t know where to start? It's a lot to cover, but this guide will get you started.</span></p><p class="ql-align-justify"><span style="background-color: transparent;">Our aim is to equip you with the industry expert knowledge and tools needed to create a certification program that stands out. Let's begin this journey together and transform the baseline skills and experience into a valuable learning opportunity for others!</span></p><h2><span style="background-color: transparent;">What is a certification program? { What is a certification program? }</span></h2><p class="ql-align-justify"><span style="background-color: transparent;">The certification program is a course that ends with a certificate that proves a certain skill, qualification, or professional area. To get this, its participants usually have to pass a test or complete a special class. Sometimes, they might need to keep learning or retake the test after a while to demonstrate that they remain competent.</span></p><p class="ql-align-justify"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/certifier/image/upload/v1706732453/how_to_create_a_certification_program_Certifier_blog_what_is_a_certification_program_e5915cae64.png" alt="The certificate that ends the certification program."></p><h2>Benefits of a certification program&nbsp;{ Benefits }</h2><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">Whether you are an individual who decides to learn something new or a company that organizes a </span><a href="https://certifier.io/blog/create-your-own-diploma-11-best-practices" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent;">new certification course</a><span style="background-color: transparent;"> for your employees, everyone can benefit from online certification programs (or in-person ones). Here are a couple of the benefits of certification training.</span></p><h3>Investing in your employees' skills</h3><p>For businesses, certification programs can help ensure employees have the necessary skills and foundational knowledge to do their jobs correctly. For example, any leadership role might require <a href="https://monday.com/blog/rnd/agile-project-management-certification" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">certification in the agile approach to project management</a>. Workers are the backbone of every company, so the better they are trained, the more productive and profitable a company can be. Therefore, it is essential and advantageous for companies to invest in their career skills by providing training programs.</p><h3>Creating an educational environment at work</h3><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">You can create an educational environment at your workplace by providing a training program. So, your company would be a great place to work for those willing to expand their knowledge, gain new skills, and be professional in a particular industry. Training helps employees learn new skills, stay updated on industry changes, and improve problem-solving abilities.&nbsp;</span></p><h3>Attracting high-quality employees and improving customer satisfaction</h3><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">You can also use both in-person and online certification programs to attract and retain high-quality employees and improve customer satisfaction. Certification also shows that employees are dedicated to their careers and are willing to invest time and effort into learning new things. So, attracting more ambitious workers is possible when they see that a company they want to apply to provides such certified courses.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><h3>The sense of development for individuals</h3><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">For individuals, certification programs can provide a sense of accomplishment, completion, and pride and improve job prospects and earnings potential.&nbsp;If you, as an employee, are not quite sure about participating, you can ask for a free demo of a new certification course you are planning to take part in.</span></p><h2><span style="background-color: transparent;">How to create a certification program? { How to create it? }</span></h2><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">It takes special preparation to create an online certification program. A thing like this doesn't just happen overnight (at least the best ones). What makes one certification program better than another? To make your certification program successful, here are the main steps you must take.</span></p><h3><span style="background-color: transparent;">Step 1: Identify the needs and course scope</span></h3><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">The first step is to develop the program content. It will include determining the objectives of the certification course and what topics you want and need to cover. Once you have a clear idea of the program's goals and scope, you can begin developing the actual content, such as course materials, test questions, and so on.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">Tips from experts:</span></p><ul><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Consult with industry experts to understand the current job market and identify high-demand skills that set professionals apart.</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Determine the technical skills and job-ready skills that are in high demand but not adequately covered by existing certificate programs or a college degree program and school diploma.</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Develop an industry-recognized certification program that addresses these gaps and provides practical, hands-on projects.</span></li></ul><h3><span style="background-color: transparent;">Step 2: Choose the certification course format</span></h3><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">Consider the preferred learning styles of your target audience. Do they benefit more from interactive, hands-on learning or traditional lecture-based methods?</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">Choose between online, offline, or blended learning formats.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">Online self-paced courses offer flexibility, while certification training with instructors can provide more structured learning.</span></p><h3><span style="background-color: transparent;">Step 3: Set up the logistics</span></h3><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">Determine what educational resources you need, including expert instructors, course materials, and technical support.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">You'll also need human resources. Hire expert instructors who are not only knowledgeable but also skilled in teaching and engaging students. Develop comprehensive individual course materials, textbooks, workbooks, and online resources.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">It’s also time to design the application process. Create a cloud application form that captures all necessary information about applicants (especially if you want to create your certificates based on this info).</span></p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent;">What to include in the application form for a certification program?</strong></p><ul><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Recipient’s name</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Email address</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Background and experience</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Preferred course dates</span></li></ul><h3><span style="background-color: transparent;">Step 4: Pick the best certification software</span></h3><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">There’s no more need to do certificates manually. You can automate the whole process and mitigate the risk of errors – from generating certificates to their distribution.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">Look into a wide range of different certification software options. Compare features like user interface, scalability, data security, and cost. Test the software with a small group to ensure it meets your needs.</span></p><p><a href="https://certifier.io/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent;">Certifier</a><span style="background-color: transparent;"> offers a range of features to make your certification process smooth and impressive.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">If you have a long list of participants, manually creating certificates can be time-consuming.

Craft your promotional messages to resonate with this audience, highlighting how your course will address their specific needs and goals.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">Use platforms like LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook to reach potential participants. Share engaging content like success stories, course snippets, and testimonials.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">Take it a step further and have larger goals in mind.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">Include a share button while you’re sending out the certificates.

Figuring it out will help you create the program by giving you hints and suggestions for enhancement.&nbsp;</span></p><h3><span style="background-color: transparent;">Make it affordable</span></h3><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">A certification program's affordability is another crucial aspect to consider. You want to ensure that your program’s price is accessible to as many people as possible.&nbsp;</span></p><p class="ql-align-justify"><span style="background-color: transparent;">There are many ways to do this, such as </span><strong style="background-color: transparent;">offering discounts for early registrants or providing scholarships for those who cannot afford the program's total cost.</strong></p><h3><span style="background-color: transparent;">Make it flexible</span></h3><p class="ql-align-justify"><span style="background-color: transparent;">Flexibility is another key consideration when creating digital courses.

There are several proven ways how to do it with a list in a spreadsheet. Let’s learn more about them.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><h3><strong>Way 1: Certificate generator from Excel + Certifier</strong></h3><p>This easy process takes minutes to complete.

Download it in CSV or XML format.</p><h3>#2 Open your draft data in Google Sheets&nbsp;</h3><p>First, separate the columns (if needed): <strong>Data</strong> &gt; <strong>Split text to columns</strong></p><p><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/certifier/image/upload/v1670495525/certifier_excel_with_students_data_a0a53343f3.webp" alt="Certifier Google Sheet with students"></p><p>${{ section-blue-start }}</p><p>Read more about <a href="https://certifier.io/blog/combine-first-and-last-name-in-google-sheets" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">how to merge first and last column together</a>.</p><p>${{ section-blue-end }}</p><h3>#3 Delete unnecessary columns, rows, and data</h3><p>Remove the unnecessary information from the spreadsheet before issuing certificates (as a rule, exported spreadsheets include a lot of information and columns).

All of them must work out together. Here are some valuable tips to guide you in the certification font world.</p><h3>Inspire yourself</h3><p>It’s best to start with some inspiration. It's the easiest way to know what you want and expect from your certificate design. Websites like <a href="https://dribbble.com/shots" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Dribbble</a> showcase top-notch design projects. Browsing through these can help you understand the latest typography trends.</p><h3>Adjust it to your branding</h3><p>The certificate font style you choose should resonate with your brand's identity. For example, if you're a modern tech company, a sleek, sans-serif font might be more fitting than a decorative script font. However, don't get so wrapped up in branding that you sacrifice readability. Certificates frequently come with fine print, so checking that every detail is legible is crucial.</p><h3>Play with width</h3><p>The width of a font used for certificates dramatically changes its appearance. Bold certificate font styles make titles and names stand out, while thinner fonts can be used for supplementary details. Adding a hierarchy will make the design more interesting and, what’s more vital – easier to understand.</p><h3>Create contrast</h3><p>Mixing and matching different font certificate styles produces a captivating contrast. Such distinctions boost the visual appeal and create a clear structure. The recipient's name and their achievement should remain the center of attention. And remember, spacing isn't just about fitting words on paper. Your design will be more classy if you use generous spacing between font used for certificates.</p><h3>Limit your design to 2-3 fonts</h3><p>Using too many fonts can make the certificate look disorganized and chaotic. Stick to 2-3 complementary fonts for a balanced design. If you're picking multiple fonts, ensure they serve a purpose. For instance, one for the title, one for the main body, and a third for any disclaimers or footnotes. After selecting your fonts, print out a mock-up. Sometimes, fonts look different on screen compared to paper. Adjust as necessary until it's perfect.</p><h2>Where can you find more free certificate fonts to download? { Free sources to download fonts }</h2><p>There are a lot of sources online where you can download free certificate fonts.
