Alain Pommet Oct 30, 2010:
In my opinion as it is not a proper noun but merely a description and rather a vague one at that, no. If it actually stated the official name of the studies then I would normally keep it, maybe in brackets but more usually an English translation in brackets.

Should it be retained and translation to be provided in brackets?

certificate of a post-secondary course of study

I am a little puzzled as to why all the other answers assume this means studies beyond first-degree level, as it COULD mean undergraduate studies too. All it actually means is a course of study at the post-secondary level -it could be any course of study after the baccalauréat, of any kind (even a BTS or equivalent).

L'accès au premier cycle d'études supérieures des universités est de droit[réf. nécessaire] pour tous les bacheliers ou titulaire d'un diplôme d'accès aux études supérieures
