freeCodeCamp launched a new Responsive Web Design certification with an updated curriculum structure. The certification includes interactive lessons, workshops, labs, review pages, and quizzes covering semantic HTML, CSS Flexbox, CSS Grid, accessibility, and responsive design principles. Learners must complete five certification projects and pass a 50-question exam using a new open-source exam environment. The certification remains free and verified, with anti-cheating measures including randomized questions, weekly attempt limits, manual review, and security validations. The exam is closed-book, timed, and currently available only in English on desktop/laptop devices.
