French term
BEP Vente
French to English

Education / Pedagogy
I am translating a short cover letter and am not quite sure how to translate the term "BEP Vente".
The translation "certificate of vocational proficiency" just seems really heavy. Is there an English acronym?
Thank you in advance for your help/insight!

There is no English equivalent. Moreover, the important thing here is that translators must not "translate" qualifications to what they consider might be an equivalent level in another country's educational system. Schools, universities and other educational institutions set up commissions that are convened to rule of applications from overseas. Equivalence commissions decide whether the overseas qualification meets their requirements, not translators.
So what can you do? Keep the French "BEP" add "Sales" and then footnote it with something descriptive, making sure you don't give an "equivalent" in doing so.
