About this character certificate template
A character certificate confirms that a student studied at an institution and kept good conduct. Universities ask for it at admission, and employers and government departments ask for it with job applications. It is issued on the institution's letterhead and signed by the principal or head of department. This template has the student's name and parent's name, class or programme, roll number, period of study, result, a conduct statement and an optional line for activities.
