Since the Universidad Isabel 1 will also issue you a degree, you should list that on your resume and LinkedIn profile. You should also upload a digital copy of the UI1 degree within the education section of your LinkedIn profile to allow prospective employers to see it for themselves.
List the university (rather than Coursera) on your resume or LinkedIn profile for each completed certificate. You should also upload a photo of each certificate to accompany the education listing on your profile, which can help explain why your certificate (from Coursera) couldn't be verified if they ran an education background check on you.
Now, there are exceptions. Some Coursera certificates have a disclaimer or disclosure at the bottom that says:
"Participation in this online specialization certificate does not constitute enrollment at this university."
OR
"This certificate does not affirm that this learner was enrolled as a student at this university."
In these cases, it would be best to list it as Coursera as the school (or Coursera via "INSERT NAME OF UNIVERSITY") to avoid misleading the prospective employer. After all, if they read the small print and you do not list it properly, it could reduce your chances of getting that job.

The courses are on Coursera not Columbia's website. I'm also going to be completing a certificate on edX from RIT which again is on edX not RIT's website. So would leave Coursera and edX off when listing the certificates and just list Columbia and RIT? Man this stuff is so complicated these days!
