# Certificate layout

This article outlines the certificate layout that is used for certificates that can be attached to service/classroom courses and online courses. As a course is completed and certificate is generated, it inserts the appropriate data into these based on the client who completed it and the course details,

Because of this automatic population of data, these certificates require a very specific layout. Your system will have a default certificate already attached which you can choose to use, however if you choose to create your own certificate design then please take note of the following details to ensure that you data will be visible within your custom design.
