Italian term or phrase: corsi di perfezionamento professionale
Una vasta gamma di corsi di formazione e perfezionamento professionale, sono a disposizione all’interno del Network, per diventare Distributori e Centri di Assistenza Autorizzati.

Therefore the company offers a full range of training and highly professional courses to its network to get the qualifications required to become Distributors and Authorised Assistance Centre.

Nevermind if it is not translated literally, I'm looking for a good translation of "corsi di perfezionamento professionale". The courses are inside the company, to its staff.

Thanks a lot

Explanation:
Formazione here is also training. You might consider "basic and specialist training courses" to cover the perfezionamento and the formazione.

professional development courses


Explanation:
I like Jim's option - my first thought though was "professional development", which are the courses or short sessions usually done in house to improve or acquire new skills. Having corsi di formazione first, you could translate the whole thing as "training and professional development courses".

CPD - Continuing Professional Development


Explanation:
CPD is required by many professional associations, also CDE - Continuing Professional Education.

Personally in your case I'd use "a range of training and CPD courses"
