I'd play safe and just stick with high school diploma, keeping the Dutch original too.
Non-ProZ.com Sep 23, 2004:
So what would be a U.S. equivalent if any? It's not an A.A. because it's still secondary...
writeaway Sep 23, 2004:
yes-it's a secondary school diploma-but more vocational than straight academic. The Belgians have professional courses which do not lead to university but also technique de transition (only know the Fr) + another one which can lead to higher education.
writeaway Sep 23, 2004:
Imho, I wouldn't attempt a literal translation. you need an English equivalent. Keep the Dutch.
Non-ProZ.com Sep 23, 2004:
Maar dit hir is noog secundaire onderwijs? of?
Non-ProZ.com Sep 23, 2004:
Perhaps complementary vocational secondary school?

US terminology. best I can do pre-coffee. Suggest keeping the Dutch and put the English explanation in ().
Peer comment(s):

neutral Paul Peeraerts : "Beroepsschool" in België is een school waar je een handarbeid leert, bijv. elektricien, bakker ... Het diploma geeft ook toegang tot het hoger onderwijs, maar dat is m.i. niet de essentie. .

I based my answer on the fact that Middelsex University accepts the diploma as qualification for admission to the university. I know that a beroepsschool is more for technical training-but maybe it's 'technique de transition'-which is good for university.

Postsecondary vocational institute

Iets wat na de middelbare school (secondary education) komt heet meestal postsecondary.

In Noord-Amerika heb je het 'Community College', waar je allerlei beroepen kunt leren en vanwaar je inderdaad toegang kunt krijgen tot bepaalde universiteitsopleidingen. Soms heet het 'XXX Institute of Technology', wat vele beroepen inhoudt, niet alleen technologische.

Misschien kun je het het beste in het Nederlands laten staan en de omschrijving er tussen haakjes bij zetten.
