As far as I know, ENEB does not grant designation. I don't think we can put it in our name after we completed ENEB.
Because it does not grant the designation, I put them on my CV as Master's Certificate on .... by... No problem so far.
That's way off. In the United States for instance, the MBA is neither designated as an Arts or Sciences degree and that doesn't make it a Master's certificate.
If a person wants an Arts or Sciences designation in this example (not that it even matters to be honest), they'll have to get a Master of Science in Business Administration which interestingly enough is not looked at as prestigious as the MBA despite the degrees being essentially identical in scope and purpose. There are many other examples of degrees that don't carry Arts and Sciences designation in the U.S. (Master of Professional Studies is another, various Doctorates and so on) but the main thing that has to be understood is that those Arts and Sciences designations are just not used in many parts of the world and Spain is one of them. You're applying American education customs to the Spanish system and downgrading your own credential, not in a purposeful way to be dishonest at least, but still.
Designations/post-nominals are built into all degrees however, and Arts and Sciences aren't the only ones that exist. For example, if you finished ENEB's Master in Project Management, you have an MPM. If you finished Georgetown University's Master of Professional Studies, you have an MPS. Now, will these designations be well-known to the average person? No, but the average person doesn't know a lot of things, that doesn't make them any less legitimate.
Thank you for your responses. I am not saying in US terms but in Anglo-Saxons perspective. For example, in my country, it is illegal to use post-nominal that are not legally granted by the university itself. You said you have MPM. But does the university said so?
Because in many territories (including my country), the usage of post-nominal is regulated. For example, in the UK you can only write what the university is legally to do so. https://www.lboro.ac.uk/students/graduat...l-letters/

I don't have an MPM. That was just an example of how the letters can work with any degree. I'm not sure of the legality of every country in this situation, so I'm glad you mentioned that because that is something people do need to check into before they use any credential.
