I am translating a website for international students.
Terms like "technical professional" or "Techinician" are not popular at all in English compared to the Spanish term. I was wondering if there is a better term. Beware that "profesional técnico" also can may reference to the person, such as: "Él es un profesional técnico con mucha experiencia".
And on an off-topic note, could you explain to me what would be a "Profesional NO Técnico"? I always wanted to know that.
Thank you for your support.

Well, I wasn't really sure, either, so that is why I entered only "2" as my confidence level. However, if you look at the context sentence the asker entered, I still think this might work.

I guess that even with the High-School diploma of the technical HS you can get a job/be certified as a technician. This has nothing to do with "skills".... if I understand well the asker needs an equivalent regarding diplomas different ed. institutions offer.

Regarding 'Profesional no técnico' I suppose they mean a "whole" university diploma i.e. 4-5 years of studies, at a College. I haven't heard that expression, I guess it depends on a specific country.
It's very difficult to translate these "terms" since education systems are just not the same in LatAm and English-speaking countries/ I didn't ellaborate on the FP system we have in Spain, I guess you are focused on LatAM.
"Técnico" is often mistranslated as technical when it means specialist.
Please could we have the sentence that you're translating - I assume "Él es un profesional técnico con mucha experiencia" is from somewhere else.
