complete educational programs/courses/stages
Explanation:
Here we have "ciclo único" "ciclo básico" etc. and I have them down in my U. glossary as programs mainly, also courses or stages. A "cycle" is basically a plan or a program of studies.

agree  Antonio Castillo González: Yes. The only problem is that the reader does'nt know what a "cycle" is. The Spanish concept of "ciclo" is rather difficult to grasp in an educational context. (Véase la acepción 6 de en WordReference.com: "Cada una de las partes de un plan de estudios".)

Further to Antonio's comment which is absolutely correct, I was originally thinking of putting "complete educational stages" but I opted against it because the term turned up no search results.

However, another possible idea would be to put "complete educational course stages" which again turns up no search results, but is so clear it can't be misinterpreted or misunderstood.

neutral  Antonio Castillo González: En España un ciclo consta de varios cursos. Por ejemplo, la carrera de Traducción suele durar cuatro años (= cuatro cursos) y consta de dos ciclos: primero y segundo ciclo. En otros países puede ser diferente, supongo.

  -> vale Antonio, tienes toda la razón, y aprecio tu comentario ... to clarify, perhaps it would be best to put "educational course stages" (where "stages" corresponds to "ciclos"). Un abrazo y que tengas muy buenas tardes :-) Deborah
