agree Dee Braig: Yes, it's not a very high level qualification ... BAC + 2 I think, like an AA.

I suggest to leave it as it is...

Explanation:
as in each English speaking country the nearest equivalent would be different.

Just explain that it is a 2 year vocational qualification after the baccalauréat (18-20) (like the DUT but the DUT is done in an University framework, the BTS in a School (lycée) framework)
