Name of Profession "Tecnico en Comercio Exterior" in English
Hi everybody,

I am looking for a word to translate" Tecnico en Comercio Exterior" into English. "Tecnico" in my country is degree that you get in postsecondary programs that normally last two years.

I found "Associate's Degree" in some websites. Being that the case, is it correct to say "Associate's degree in International Trade"? And what would a professional in this area be called? (Technician, Expert?).

Thanks!

Hey Marco!

I did some googling and found an article from Wikipedia:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associate_degree

As I'm sure you already know, when it comes to education there's never a 100% match, but in the article they explain the nuances of what an associate's degree is in certain countries.

Hope it helps!

Hi!! I am en English teacher from Argentina.

I have been  teaching English at a Tertiaty Education Institution for a couple of years now. Most of my students are studying  International Trade.

The correct translation would be "International Trade Technician" or "Foreign Trade Technician".

I hope my comment was helpful!
