'A' Level holder
Erklärung:
probably the British term. In Ireland we'd say '(secondary school) Leaving Cert(ificate) holder'

Any help?

Thank you Cilian, Edith and Wolf. Being an "Ami", I have to rely on the agrees from British folk out there to know what is best to use here. I understand your point about A-Levels not being exactly equivalent to the Abitur, Edith. I will point that out to the customer and let them decide how relevant that is to their job site and if they want to keep it or replace it.

Zustimmung Krokodil: yes, sounds like the correct term, it's also important to point out the distinction between "holder" and "candidate" as Abiturient can certainly be both.

Zustimmung Renate FitzRoy: I would add 'or equivalent' because there are also Scottish Highers and Higher National Diploma that give access to universities

leave 'German Abitur'

Erklärung:
the (Irish) leaving cert and the UK A levels are based on 12 years schooling, the German Abitur on 13 years. A level holders cannot go to a German university, only to Fachhochschulen. Most people know what a German Abitur is. So call it a holder of a German Abitur.

Neutraler Kommentar Cilian O'Tuama: Hi Edith, Leaving Cert holders (and I presume A Level holders too) CAN go to German university - I did (with no other qualification at the time)

  -> Hi, but not to study law, that's not a Allgemeine Hochschulreife.

matriculant

Erklärung:
a South African term ;from the British education system and at the "A" stream level will give you university access.Maybe a bit old fashioned but rolls off the tongue quite easily.

  -> Not really, we say that an Abiturient has matriculated i.e. finished secondary education.
