Quick answer

Use it to award recognition that survives verification: a short assessed check against service criteria, a dated certificate number issued on pass, and an exportable register for audits, award seasons and employer verification requests.

About this template

A certificate only counts if the register behind it does. This flow pairs a short assessed check (name, evaluation items against service criteria) with issuance discipline: on pass, a certificate number and date are recorded against the volunteer, and the register exports clean for audits, award seasons and employer verification requests — while the AI report summarizes each person's assessed strengths for the citation line.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a service certificate worth issuing?
The register behind it: criteria scored, supervisor endorsed, number and date recorded. Without those four, a certificate is stationery.
Is this the same as the onboarding certification?
No — onboarding certifies readiness before duty starts; this one recognizes completed service afterward and creates the register.
Does the certificate have legal standing?
It is a recognition record of your organization's assessment on your letterhead — not a state-issued credential; keep numbering and register discipline and it withstands verification calls.
Is it free to use?
Yes. Copy it into your FormLM workspace, set the criteria and numbering scheme, run award seasons from it.
Can a certificate be revoked?
Yes — flag the register entry; reissue rounds overwrite with new numbers while the history stays auditable.
What goes on the certificate face?
The printable AI summary plus name, program and date — the same text kept on the register entry for consistency.
