Non-PRO (1): writeaway
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

diploma drawn up/prepared/issued
qualification studied
| disagree |
Chris Hall
: I think that there are much better alternatives than the translation which has been put forward here i.e. "qualification" for "diplôme" and "studied" for "préparé".

: This is the correct definition of what it is, but not the correct translation into English.

Chris Hall
: There needs to be a verb in the past participle here e.g. diploma obtained / issued. Addition: I agree that the French has not been translated as it should have been, othwerwise the past participle would have been taken into consideration.

degree undertaken/in which enrolled
A transcript/relevé de notes shows a student's results at a given time in his/her studies; the term itself in no way implies that the student has recieved a diploma. The same applies to diplôme préparé. Success or failure is not implied, it simply refers to the specific course in which the student is enrolled.
