Cercando chiarezza: Direttore di albergo sarebbe la *professione* in Italia e *non* un titolo accademico, che non esiste.
Chi chiede deve, a mio parere, dire se sta traducendo un curriculum ( e in questo caso, se in uno stato esiste quel titolo, quel titolo si lasci in lingua originale - spagnola, in questo caso-) oppure offrire informazioni su competenze (e in questo caso, le rese proposte in inglese funzionano perfettamente).
Paul O'Brien Jan 13, 2013:
Primary Degree in Hotel Management
Cinzia Michelis (asker) Jan 13, 2013:
It's a 3 year first level university course in Venezuela, after high school, so I'd say it's a Batchelor degree
Lorraine Buckley (X) Jan 13, 2013:
and here is the full list---- of all unis in Argentina offering the course http://www.universidades.org/carreras_y_universidades-Ver_Ca...
Lorraine Buckley (X) Jan 13, 2013:
Argentinian From a quick Google, it appears to be a strictly Argentinian course. The contents of one can be seen here http://www.institutosol.edu.ar/home/repositorio/TECNICO-SUPE... Lasts 4 years. IMO it is the Argentinian way of saying Hotel Management
philgoddard Jan 13, 2013:
I agree. And I think this is a rather odd exercise, translating something that's already been translated (possibly wrongly) from Spanish.
MariaGrazia Pizzoli Jan 13, 2013:
Non credo che alcuna università italiana rilasci un titolo accademico di questo genere. Il termine "tecnico, è nel nostro ordinamento, attribuito da Istituti superiori pre-universitari.
Detto questo, si potrebbe cercare una figura professionale corrispondente purché si chiarisca cosa questo tecnico ha da fare=quali competenze e mansioni è chiamato a svolgere.

Selected

Hotel Management or Hospitality Management Degree/Diploma

Paul has omitted to translate

tecnico superiore universitario

more context is needed in order to know whether this a Bachelor Degree or a Diploma. How long is the course? If it is at least 3/4 years then it is probably a Degree; if less time then will be a Diploma.

Also is it UK or US English? In the US they often use "Hospitality Management" though "Hotel Management courses also exist

OK, thanks Cinza, I agree it's a Bachelor Degree then

Note added at 4 hrs (2013-01-13 17:23:25 GMT)

and probably the most standard for international use would be

Bachelor Degree (or Bachelor's Degree) in Hotel Management

I'd keep the original Spanish title and put the English in brackets. (Bachelor's Degree in Hotel Management)
