Hi. I'm translating a text about the courses offered by a Hotel Management School.
La actual oferta educativa del centro la conforman los Ciclos de Grado Medio de Técnico en Cocina y Gastronomía; Técnico en Panadería, Repostería y Confitería; y Técnico en Servicios en Restauración; y los Ciclos de Grado Superior de Técnico Superior en Dirección de Servicios de Restauración; y Técnico Superior en Dirección de Cocina.
Can anyone help me translate, 'Ciclos de Grado Medio de Técnico en Cocina y Gastronomía'? I'll then be able to translate the names of the other courses offered.
Best regards
Jack

Intermediate level course in Cookery and Gastronomy
something that is understandable everywhere since education systems vary so much. And this is a hotel management school so no doubt the students are all adult

Level 3 Diploma in Cooking Techniques
Seeing as institutions name their courses differently, I would use a general term.
A Level 3 Diploma is for the UK. You could also say Level 3 Certificate/Award.
In Spain a 'Ciclo de Grado Medio' is a two-year course that comes after the Obligatory Secondary Education (ESO) in Spain. Students have to have their 16th birthday during the year they start the course.
Level 3 qualifications recognise the ability to gain, and where relevant apply a range of knowledge, skills and understanding. Learning at this level involves obtaining detailed knowledge and skills. It is appropriate for people wishing to go to university, people working independently, or in some areas supervising and training others in their field of work.

Regarding the other courses, I think I would use Level 3 Diploma/Certificate/Award in Baking, Confectionary and Patisserie Techniques.
A 'Ciclo de Grado Superior' could be a Level 4 Diploma/Certificate/Award.
I say 'could' because I am haven't compared the number of hours/credits. I'm just going on the fact that a 'Ciclo Medio' does not grant entrance to university in Spain, whereas a 'Ciclo Superior' does.
