Tak Christine. Vil du poste så jeg kan give dig points? :)

Simply something with a level? As you mention yourself, could you use something like ´level´?
There are usually introductory or basic courses, and then you can go on to intermediate or supplementary levels, and finally higher or advanced levels. I would probably not go for advanced - it sounds too much like school.

Even Level 1, Level 2 ... etc. might work.

Thanks for all your input Christine! I am familiar with the Danish university system as I got my own degree in Denmark :) - the problem is that this is NOT a university degree. It is a three-day course that ends with an examination and a certifcate/official certification within a specific field (unable to write the official name here). If you wish, you can choose to then take the 'overbygningen', which is 2.5 days and ends with yet another certificate/certification at a more advanced level.

A concession to the rest of Europe I only really know about the UK and Denmark, so you will have to adapt to your side of the Atlantic, sorry!
Traditionally, a Danish university education lasted five years, and was the equivalent of a Master's degree in the UK, where most students took a Bachelor lasting three, or sometimes four years, and then some went on to take a Master's degree after a further year or two. (They still do.)

As academics became more mobile, and more school-leavers went to university, the drop-out rate after two or three years also became noticeable, and many of these people pointed out quite rightly that in other educational systems they would have had a certificate of some kind.
Other, shorter qualifications - as teachers, in engineering and on the technical side also ended with a diploma comparable to a bachelor degree in some parts of Europe, and where the quality and level of training was high enough, bachelor degrees were gradually awarded for these in line with other educational systems.

Even many of the classical master's degrees now consist of a three-year bachelor course, which is more general, and this ´overbygning´ with the more specialised or elective subjects.

Jeg har godt selv fundet de muligheder, du præsenterer, men synes ikke, der er nogen af dem, der passer i denne sammenhæng...?
