I'm looking for a phrase that describes 'certificate giving ceremony'. 'Accreditation' seemed like good word but upon further searching I saw the phrase 'accreditation award ceremony'.
-The word 'accreditation' means to give/recognize someone's abilities (presumably by handing them a diploma/certificate/medal/crest etc?).
-Noun
-The giving of credentials.
-The act of accrediting.
-letters of accreditation.
--(education) The granting of approval to an institution of higher learning by an official review board after the school has met certain requirements.
-[Cited from Wikitonary]
--●So doesn't the phrase 'accreditation award ceremony' invoke pleonasm or even tautology?
--●Are there any better phrases or word(s) that can surrogate for 'award giving ceremony'?
--●Feel free to rectify any errors but please apprise me of it in the comments so I may learn.

Accreditation is not just a certificate. Not everyone can "give accreditation" away. Use Certificate instead.

There's nothing wrong with the grammar, but there may be a problem with the vocabulary. An educational institution is accredited when it has been approved as competent to award qualifications. A successful student gets their certificate at an 'award ceremony'. I suppose an 'accreditation award ceremony' could have been held to mark the institution's having become accredited.

Also @Specter The operating word is officially -- I don't know if the OP is an authorized "official," or an "authority" empowered to accredit others.
