Spanish term or phrase: salidas intermedias
Estimados colegas:

Traduciendo una presentación un sucinta sobre el modelo de desarrollo curricular de un instituto educacional chileno, encontré el término "salidas intermedias". Como desconocía su significado, le pregunté a mi cliente y esta fue su respuesta:


Te explico lo que son las salidas intermedias.

Generalmente una carrera profesional dura 8 semestres. El título es de grado "Profesional" otorgado por nuestro Instituto. Si el estudiante no alcanza a finalizar su carrera profesional, existe la alternativa (no en todas las carreras) de realizar una "salida intermedia" al cumplir 4 semestres y así obtener un título "Técnico".


Agradeceré sus sabios consejos :)

intermediate completion (and explain)
Explanation:
I wouldn't try to find an equivalent.

In the UK there's the Higher National Diploma (HND), worth roughly two thirds of a full degree, but obviously it's not the same concept because the "grado técnico" is often considered a full degree for conversion purposes. You could say something like "intermediate completion" and explain the concept?

agree  Jenni Lukac: It's the reverse of transferring community college credits to a four-year program, but it would really make sense to offer this option to students today, who for economic or other reasons, would like to settle for a lesser degree.

  -> Thanks Jenni. I have my doubts about "ICP" - would anyone really know what was meant? Maybe I'm too out of touch.
