Type of Austrian School
This name is followed by a Vienna address. From a CV. No idea what this would be in English. I found "Secondary School of Economics and Tourism" on the LEO forums. Is that any good, or is there a better translation out there? TIA for your help.

Higher Vocational School for Service Industries Management
Puzzled together as follows:
1) in the EURYDICE Glossary entry, your term appears as one of the various titles for a Berufsbildende Höher Schule in Austria (the forms of BHS in different fields have different names)
2) in this entry the second part is translated, the first part isn't
3) so I looked in IATE and found the first part (in its general version, so it is perfectly acceptable as a translation, imho)
