The easiest way to create a generic certificate is to use a Microsoft Office template.

When creating a generic certificate in PowerPoint, variables cannot be used, so all data must be entered manually in advance, resulting in all certificates being identical.

  1. First, launch Microsoft PowerPoint.



  2. Search for a template by typing “certificate” in the search bar.



  3. Select the template you would like to use from the available matches.



  4. Next, click Create



    That's it! Your certificate will open as a presentation slide and you can proceed to edit it.
