What to include in the request
A certificate request should be short and easy to act on. Include:
- A clear subject line, such as Request for internship completion certificate
- Your full name as it should appear on the certificate
- Your role, team and exact internship dates
- Why you need it, for example college submission or academic credit
- Any deadline, stated politely
If you also want a line about your work, ask for it; do not write the certificate text for them unless they ask you to.
Who to send it to and when
Send it to your reporting manager and copy HR, or follow the process the company told you at joining. The best time is in your last week, while people still remember your work. If there is no reply in about a week, send one polite reminder.
Only the company can issue your certificate. A certificate you make yourself has no value and can get you into serious trouble with your college and future employers. Applying for a new internship? Use the internship application email generator.
