شهادة التكوين المهني
Professional Training Certificate


Explanation:
Given that Arabic and French are the official languages of Morocco, there is no actual English equivalent. The above is the nearest equivalent, or perhaps "Professional Training Accreditation Certificate.

The actual ministry is called "l’Office de la Formation Professionnelle et de la Promotion du Travail – OFPPT
http://www.ofppt.org.ma/home.asp

The following British website calls it "The Moroccan office of vocational and professional training (OFPPT)" but I think it's their translation and not an official one:
http://www.trade.uktradeinvest.gov.uk/electronics/morocco/
The Moroccan office of vocational and professional training (OFPPT) contributes up to 70% of all costs associated with personnel training. It can also help in the identification of training needs, course design and certification.

By the way, تكوين means "training" in North African Arabic.

Sorry, by giving the name of the organisation that provides the certification, I meant to say that you could say \"Professional Training (Accreditation) Certifcate from the Moroccan Office of vocational...\", unless of course, that sounds too wordy.

agree  ArabicSoft: Professional Training Certificate or Vocational Training Certificate. This is exactly what it means in Morocco. To my knowledge, the term تكوين مهني is not uncommon in Egypt. Check out: http://www.elakhbar.org.eg/issues/16046/0702.html.

disagree  Aisha Maniar: "formation" is French which is where the Morocans get the word "تكوين" from. In English, we say "training". "Formation" means something else in English. Your references are most definitely not from English sources.
