Hi Genie,
This is a very much fitting explanation for FAchhochschulreife:
Upper level secondary school-leaving certification which entitles the student to admission to any polytechnic school, but not to the university.
You get it either from a technical colledge or if you leave the German Gymnasium after the 12th grade. I wouldn't translate it but put the explanation in brackets.
Cheers
Claudia

graduation from vocational college
in the US. Here, your 'school-leaving certificate' (sounds silly to American ears) is called a 'degree' in the form of a 'diploma' which you receive upon 'graduation'. A vocational college (Fachhochschule) really is an advanced form of educational facility.
