business administration certification

I think I'd reword it like this: I will complete a continuing education program for business administration certification on ...

Der Wirtschaftsfachwirt ist eine wirtschaftszweigbezogene, kaufmännische Aufstiegsfortbildung, die der Meisterprüfung gleichgestellt ist. Sie erfolgt in der Regel im Anschluss an eine kaufmännische Ausbildung mit anschließender umfassender Berufspraxis und schließt mit einer öffentlich-rechtlich anerkannten Prüfung vor einer Industrie- und Handelskammer ab.

Certified business administrator is another possibility, but might be confused with this training. http://www.amcertinst.org/certifications/cba.php

agree philgoddard : Yes, but this needs a bit of reworking because your suggestion has three words ending in '-ation'. You could say 'degree', which is presumably what it is.

Wasn't sure about "degree" but that might be the way to go. I'd avoid "bachelor" because it doesn't seem to be a university degree.
agree Horst Huber (X) : And it catches the pleonasm of the forced German "term".

agree Nicola Wood : rewording is definitely the way to go.

agree oa_xxx (X) : why not just certificate to avoid some of the -ations ;) or program/certificate in business administration

neutral philgoddard : This sounds like one institution's translation, and "bachelor professional' doesn't sound very English.

neutral oa_xxx (X) : This is what the IHK (and co.) wants to use as a "Übersetzunghilfe" but it seems to have resulted in a hefty debate, I personally think its terrible and misleading! http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bachelor_Professional
