English translation:postgraduate (professional) diploma
Explanation:
that is the simplest and most logical way of translating it in my view. a postgrad diploma is normally a 9-12 month vocational course taken on completion of a 3-4 year first degree. It has less academic standing than a master's degree, but normally more vocational focus.

The term \'retraining\' is widely used in education, career, and employment fields

Encyclopжdia Britannica
retraining program
occupational training program designed to aid workers in obtaining new employment.
http://www.britannica.com/search?query=retraining&ct=&fuzzy=...

Retraining Information, Opportunities and Schools
Do you feel you need some retraining to get better job skills and more knowledge? If you have been determined by the One-Stop Career Center staff to have a skill that is no longer in demand, you may receive training in new skills.

disagree  David Knowles: "retraining" implies a defect in the original training
3 hrs
  -> What made you think so? The original training may be perfect, but no longer in demand in today's labor market, or you may just want to try your hand in some new field. That's where retraining comes which means training in new skills.

neutral  Dan Brennan: you can argue with david - but you'd be better to listen to him - he is quite right
21 hrs
  -> I always listen to people when I argue with them. Anyway, I do know that 'ПЕРЕквалификация' is something different from just 'postgraduate' or 'advanced' studies

professional update diploma


Explanation:
Dan's answer is the most probable, and indicates a professional qualification on top of an academic qualification. However, if this is really a revision of an existing qualification, you need some extra explanation in the title.

The words "retraining" and "requalifying" are pejorative in English, and cannot be used in this context. The above is OK, or you could have

Advanced professional diploma

Skill Conversion Diploma


Explanation:
or Conversion Diploma

На мой взгляд, профессиональная переквалификация - это далеко не то же самое, что postgraduate studies - основная разница в том, что это именно ПЕРЕквалификация, то есть человек получает НОВУЮ квалификацию на основе полученного образования (но не всегда в полном соответствии с этим образованием) - т.е., к примеру, переучивается на новую, более востребованную на рынке труда специальность. Таким образом, переквалификация подразумевает не столько получение (новой) ученой степени, сколько обретение новой специальности.
