Wouldn't we all... however, JavaScript will be of limited use as it is a language that is mostly used on the client machine. The best JavaScript could offer in this respect would be to set and read a cookie which would tell each user how many times they personally had visited each page.
'Hit Counters' Are more commonly implemented using some sort of server-side process which can aggregate the visits of each and every user and display a total.
Thankfully you're not the first person to want such a thing and there are more free hit counters out there than I've had cups of coffee.
Try here for a good start

OK, I'm not sure exactly what you are after.
Say I'm "the kid"... when I view the page, do you want that number to be:
a) the number of times I have visited the page, or,
b) the number of times the page has been visited all together?
What sort of certificate are we talking about? SSL?

the number of times the page has been visited all together?
the kid need to complete a quiz in order to receive his or her certificate.
the certificate is not done yet but you can visualise it at

And you need each of these certificates to be individually numbered? Or do you just want to display how many times the certificate has been viewed by the kid?
Individually numbering them would require either a database to record the numbers - which you would then need to use ASP or PHP to access the database to display the certificate. Or you would need to make a new certificate file for each person. Either way, Javascript won't be much use to you.
If you just want to keep track of how many times it has been visited, use any of the free hit counters in the google search above.
