"-R" = Reserve
Løjtnant = Captain or Lieutenant
It depends on the branch of service. The naval service differs from the other branches of the armed forces.
This looks like it is from a C.V./resume or a bio.
For these type of documents/texts in the U.S. at least the protocol is to give the name of the individual followed by the notation of "Lieutenant, U.S. Army/Marine Corps/Air Force Reserve" or "Captain, U.S. Navy/Coast Guard Reserve."
Here's an example but the rank is different:

Nida Glick, Lieutenant Commander, USCG Reserve
The Canadian military has close ties to the American military both being in North America, members of NATO etc., but that is by no means the only military relationship or tradition in Canada. The protocol would naturally be different there.

Wiki on the difference between the Regular Army and Reserve Army Ranks for the U.S.:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_Army_(United_States)
After the demobilization of the Army of the United States in 1946, the United States Army was divided into the Regular Army (RA) and the Army Reserve (USAR). ... Since the Vietnam War officers' permanent rank is their RA rank. Active duty officers can hold an RA commission and rank and may also hold a higher rank with a USAR commission. Reserve officers hold only a USAR commission, but may serve in either the reserve component or on active duty. That is, all non-permanent ranks (including theater rank, temporary rank, battlefield promotions, etc.) are handled through USAR commissions. Those officers without RA commissions do not have a permanent rank.

Canada probably shows a similar dynamic in play.
And it all depends on your target audience.

Denmark follows NATO ranks -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranks_and_insignia_of_NATO
Navies - Armies - Air Forces
Lieutenant - Captain - Flight Lieutenant
Sub Lieutenant - Lieutenant - Flying Officer
It could be either one of these two instances of "Lieutenant," army or navy.
Your term says "Certificate of Training" so I'd go for "Lieutenant, Reserve" or "Lieutenant, Res."
"Lieutenant, Reserve" / "Lieutenant, Res." is a title format you could see written on a certificate or a c.v., with Reserve / Res. capitalized. Just forgo the branch of service if there is none mentioned. "Lieutenant in the reserves" sounds more like something we would say when we are talking about someone or read in a story written about someone - she was a "Lieutenant in the reserves," or a bio or speech, "X, a Lieutenant in the reserves,..." etc.
I wouldn't rule out that it could even be something different like police, fire department official or maybe even some public health official with a rank since there is no context.
