French term or phrase: capacité
Hi all,

This comes in a diagram showing the structure of courses at a university, so unfortunately no more context is available.

Capacite de orthopiste ou certificat de psychomotricite (sorry no accents).

My question concerns the term capacite. Is this a course to add on a specialisation? How might it be said? (seeing as it can't be a certificate)

Many thanks in advance,

sorry, forget the line "certificate of qualification as an orthoptist", though it's what you'd get from successfully completing the capacité ;-)
