Spanish term

diplomada media

Spanish to English Other Education / Pedagogy Higher Education title
This is for a company presenting a bid for a contract and listing each team member's qualifications and expertise. All it says for this team member is 'diplomada media' then lists his expertise and experience.

Is it equivalent to the British HND / HNC?

Thank you.

El pais de origen es España, pero desconozco el pais de destino. Es al nivel europeo. De todas formas, siendo británica, escribo en inglés británico y utilizo la terminología de que estoy acostumbrada, como lo hace cada uno de nosotros.

Incumbe mencionar el país de origen y el de destino, ya que las cuestiones educativas y su terminología e importe varían muchísimo de un país a otro (CONTEXTO).

Cecilia, it doesn't really matter because 1. the 'his' in my explanation was purely and simply a typo (I had another person's list open at the time), and 2. the target term for a man would be 'diplomado medio' which, in English, would be the same as a 'diplomada media' given that there is no gender difference in English in this case.

But if you're really dying to know then it's a female...
Cecilia Della Croce Mar 5, 2007:
es un hombre o una mujer?
