Italian term or phrase: Diploma di maturità professionale per assistenti di comunità infantili
Hi everyone,

I'm translating a diploma di maturità in to English-US and could use some help. The educational systems between Italy and the US are so different so these terms are very difficult to express in English, in my opinion. I am leaving the Italian in the target text as it seems appropriate given that this degree is so specific but I need to provide a translation in brackets (for explanation purposes).

Do we have anything similar here in the US? Could anyone help me formulate a translation that conveys what it is exactly that this person has achieved?

Thank you.

Explanation:
I would translate it as High School Diploma and then put the spec' afterwards.
Maybe Social/ childcare Assistant sums it up. Not sure if there is a specific translation here. Mmmmmm difficult one!

Thanks for your help! These qualifications are tough to convey in the target language when they don't exist in the target culture so I really appreciate everyone's input.
