About this template
Issuing certificates becomes an afternoon of name checking and copy-paste. This template collects the completion record per learner - name exactly as it should appear, course or cohort, dates and hours, the requirement met, and contact for verification - then issues a dated certificate PDF carrying a reference line you keep in the register. Each run produces one record per learner, so a request to verify a certificate six months later is a filter, not a memory test.
