ADP graduate
Explanation:
"The operation of the department of Informatics under the initial name of Administrative Data Processing - ADP (Swedish acronym ADB), side by side with the department of Numerical Analysis, started also in 1969 with undergraduate education."

I know this is from a Swedish site (Umåa University), but the meaning is the same in both Swedish and Norwegian.

ADB-graduate


Explanation:
ADB=administrativ databehandling, i.e. literally "administrative data processing". It looks like a business-oriented IT-education. (see ref.)

Keep the acronym or anglify, according to context.

NKI is a correspondence school.

graduated with a certificate/diploma in ADP


Explanation:
Graduate could be anything and needs a qualifier. A 2 year study could correspond to a certificate course, perhaps a diploma course at a technical or community college.
It depends also on the target English, ie. UK, US, CDN.
Plus, the US gets Universities and Colleges all mixed up.
