You can define a command like

\newcommand\signature[1]{%
  \par\vspace{8ex}\noindent
  \begin{tabular}[t]{@{}l@{}}
    \makebox[15em]{\dotfill}\\
    #1
  \end{tabular}
  \hfill
  \begin{tabular}[t]{@{}c@{}}
    \makebox[15em]{\dotfill}\\
    Date
  \end{tabular}
}

and use it like that:

\documentclass{article}
\newcommand\signature[1]{%
  \par\vspace*{8ex}\noindent
  \begin{tabular}[t]{@{}l@{}}
    \makebox[15em]{\dotfill}\\
    #1
  \end{tabular}
  \hfill
  \begin{tabular}[t]{@{}c@{}}
    \makebox[15em]{\dotfill}\\
    Date
  \end{tabular}
}
\usepackage{blindtext} % only needed for the dummy text, remove it
\begin{document}
\blindtext % generates the dummy text, remove it
% Put the text to be signed here.

\signature{Mr~Joe Miller\\Seminar Supervisor}
\signature{Ms~Amy Smith\\Head of Department}
\signature{Ms~Betty Taylor\\External Examiner}
\end{document}

But, please how can I remove the additional text at the top – Chukwu John Nov 26 '19 at 16:50
@chukwujohn Remove \blindtext and \usepackage{blindtext}, they are there for demo purposes only. – gernot Nov 26 '19 at 17:48
Is there a way the dummy text can be removed? – Chukwu John Nov 26 '19 at 19:51
@ChukwuJohn Remove the lines \blindtext and \usepackage{blindtext}. Replace \blindtext by the text that has to be signed. – gernot Nov 26 '19 at 19:54
