courses of study / training courses


Explanation:
.. is just another possibility.
From a bilingual page (found on google, preferable not to let it do any translating though, I would think!):

"Training courses for high-school leavers
This training course can only be attended at our Head Office in Winterthur. The course is offered in German only.
Zielsetzung und Konzept
Der Kaufmännische Bildungsgang für Maturitätsschulabsolventinnen und -absolventen (KBM) besteht seit 1982. .."

A Bildungsgang need not necessarily be vocational and can also refer to academic courses of study.
