English translation:Advanced Vocational Diploma in the Hotel Industry (+ French)
Explanation:
With qualifications you should always include the French because exact equivalents can't be assigned by the translator, so I would either keep the French and give the English gloss in brackets or give the English and indicate the French original in brackets.

Nb. re the subject matter. My first thought was also "hospitality" but I think it is closer to hotel/tourism subjects - you will be able to tell from the context I guess.

2-year technical diploma in Hospitality


Explanation:
This is what I use in the workshop I run for the French Employment Agency. I think it says all the necessary things without being too restrictive.

I believe it is actually a bad idea to translate too literally, especially if you don't know the country it is destined for.
