Referring to certifications on CVs and seeing certification

I have completed my certification for Responsive Web design at as far getting a rosette next to it on the certification list. I think there may be another step, I cannot work out how to do. Can I ask how I should refer to course on an CV also known as resume depending on country you are from. Basically I want to know what it would say on certificate. For example is there some sort of certification type or course code I need to include. This is also assuming one certification is enough work, to be included in the training section of a CV.

Certifications that are free are not usually something helpful to put on a CV.

Have you claimed your certificate, which should look something like this?

You can do this in the Settings menu at https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn.
Scroll through the Account Settings page until you find the relevant certification.

NOTE that you will have to have accepted the Academic Honesty Policy and also set your Profile to public (both on the same page), before you can claim the certificate.

Thankyou it was the privacy settings causing my problems, show certification now works for me.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
However I have decided not to tick solution as having seen the certificate I am still unsure how to refer to it on my CV. I am thinking, “freeCodeCamp Responsive Website Design Certification”. Do I need to follow this by the web address in ‘()’ brackets or am I findable by name.

Ignore the second half of this message I have just seen Jeremy’s post.

Thankyou for your message. I am happy to go with your advice keep this off my CV. I had already king of got the idea this does not constitute a qualification. So to consider it not worthy of inclusion on my CV is sensible.

For clarity I now consider you to have given me a solution however as I can only give one solution tick I have given it to Jeremy. Whether I made it clear or not, the CV question was the slightly more major matter.

People reading this later, having a similar problem seeing/getting your electronic certificate please read igorgetmeabrain post. That post is also a solution.
