Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): TechLawDC

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Whereas in Mexico:
Diplomados, maestrías y doctorados
El primero de ellos es la especialización o el diplomado. En este renglón el estudiante obtiene capacitación sobre un tema específico por el cual se le acredita un diploma donde se reconoce la obtención de estos conocimientos. Es de duración variable.

Luego están las maestrías. Este es un grado más profundo que los diplomados, dado a que el cúmulo de información y de prácticas, si así lo requiere, es de mayor profundidad que las especializaciones y de mayor tiempo de estudios. Este tipo de etapa superior le otorga el grado de maestro o magister. Y finalmente están los doctorados que capacitan al profesional para ejercer con mayor profundidad en un área específica dentro de la licenciatura escogida.

Wiki:
Diplomatura o diplomatura universitaria es una antigua titulación de educación superior en España que se obtenía tras realizar un programa de pregrado de tres años de duración. Se trataba de un grado académico corto (de un solo ciclo) especializado, a diferencia de la licenciatura, titulación de dos ciclos, donde en el primer ciclo (equivalente a una diplomatura) generalmente se impartían cursos más generalistas y en el segundo ciclo se accedía a la especialización.

La diplomatura tiende a desaparecer en la Unión Europea desde la creación del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior.

Hello, I don't want to get into an argument about US qualifications. All I can say is that we also need to know the Spanish-speaking country this involves. In Argentina, a diplomado can take 2 years, see:

this is with a specialization

@George Mendoza - Hace falta más contexto Me pregunto si el 'diplomado' será parecido al de CLEA (ver abajo), que tiene una duración de 200 horas:

Marcelo González Jun 19, 2020:
@Muriel It all depends on the university. As I've already mentioned, many universities offer many different types of graduate certificates, and many of these can be awarded after approximately half of the requirements of the related master's (see my references). I've also done this myself, Muriel, at the Monterey Institute of International Studies, now known as the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey (a graduate school of the respected Middlebury College).
Muriel Vasconcellos Jun 19, 2020:
@ Marcelo It seems to me that you are trivializing the field of occupational medicine. You can't get a certificate in it for 15-18 credits. That's the basic issue in our discussion.
Marcelo González Jun 19, 2020:
@Muriel In many master's degree fields, certificates are also available, and usually require half the credits, i.e., 15-18 credits. This is typical at US universities. I hold three degrees, too, Muriel (as well as a graduate certificate, in fact). ;))
Muriel Vasconcellos Jun 19, 2020:
@ Marcelo I think the misunderstanding here is that occupational medicine is not a certificate study. It's a deep field of study, either a master's degree or a bachelor's degree. I have listed some examples in my answer below.
Marcelo González Jun 19, 2020:
@Muriel In the UK system, 'diploma' at the university level is used. My suggestion for the American system is 'certificate' or 'graduate certificate.'
Muriel Vasconcellos Jun 19, 2020:
@ Marcelo In all my years, including 5 years working on staff at Georgetown University and with 3 degrees of my own, I have never heard it said that one has a 'diploma' in a university-level field. One 'holds a degree in' the field. At least in the U.S.
Marcelo González Jun 19, 2020:
@Muriel - of course it's university, in fact ... ...I'd say it's at the graduate/post-graduate level (see my references).
Muriel Vasconcellos Jun 19, 2020:
@ Marcelo "Diploma" in Spanish **typically** refers to a university degree. When you look at examples on Linguee, the original Spanish examples refer to university education, not high school, which the most common use in US English, at least.

If the target audience is the US, another option might be 'graduate certificate' for 'diplomado,' as 'diploma' is not half as common at American universities.

I hope this helps :-)

In the context of a university-conferred credential, it would be helpful to know the requirements to establish equivalence. In this vein, I'd imagine that, to gain admission, students would need to have already earned a suitable degree and, to finish the 'diplomado,' to have met academic requirements that are significantly less (in terms of the time they take to complete) than those required for the master's. If not, then why take the 'diplomado' and not the 'maestría'?

If this is the case, then 'diploma' or 'postgraduate certificate' may be acceptable options for the UK, while 'certificate' or 'graduate certificate' would be good options for the US.

medicina de trabajo = occupational medicine // occupational health

To the asker (George):

As you may have noticed (in Discussion), the references posted by liz askew basically support what I contend above, i.e., that a 'diplomado' is essentially a 'carrera corta' pursued after an initial degree.

It's interesting to note as well that the length of 200 hours of CLEA's diplomado (a link to which I posted in Discussion) is somewhat consistent to the 15-18 credits often needed for a certificate at US universities, where, generally speaking, one credit is equal to 15 hours of instruction (which is precisely the formula we used at Northern Marianas College, where I was involved in course and program assessment in the context of WASC accreditation).

Saludos y suerte desde Vietnam :-)

Degree in Occupational Medicine

"Diplomado" means that the person has earned a degree in the field.

I chose 'degree' rather than 'diploma' because "diploma" in Spanish **typically** refers to university-level education.

In a c.v. in English, one would typically use the term 'degree', rather than 'diploma' in referring to one's advanced education, reserving 'diploma' for high school.

It running text, one might say 's/he holds a degree in occupational medicine'.

See the following examples from Linguee:

Una enfermera anestesista ha obtenido su diploma de licenciatura en enfermería, seguido por capacitación especializada en anestesia. brunswickcommunityhospital.org
A nurse anesthetist **has a bachelor degree** in nursing, followed by specialized training in anesthesia.
