Like FM_EmailCertificates, certificate design / layout can be changed. See this for more details.

For deploying, create a new folder called "FM_EmailCertificatesToAdmin" inside either of the global or specific organization id folder in orgresources directory. If that folder is placed inside a specific organization folder, the certificate design will be applied to that organization. If it is placed inside the global folder, the design will be applied to all organizations. The folder will contain a PHP file (how_cert_html.php) along with the assets (e.g. logo, background image) that are added to the certificate.

To make sure that the HTML certificate (page where CertificateLink is directed to) looks good, go to [ENTER FILMS URL]/includes/modules/FM_EmailCertificatesToAdmin/show_cert_html.php?intId=[ENTER EARNED CERTIFICATE ID].

To make sure the PDF-generated certificate looks good, go to [ENTER FILMS URL]/includes/modules/FM_EmailCertificatesToAdmin/show_cert_pdf.php?intId=[ENTER EARNED CERTIFICATE ID].

Limitation

Only limit to 1 email address per organization.
The design of the certificate is limited on the PDF generator's capabilities.
