Second, the word تحفيظ seems to indicate that this دبلومة is given to a teacher, not a student. As far as I know, there is no one-word English term for تحفيظ in that exact sense. Therefore, the word "teaching," teacher," "instruction," or "instructor" needs to be inserted somewhere in the title.
There is no need to mimick the plural form of the Arabic word قراءات. The art of recitation does not mean just one mode.
To acquaint yourself with the English wording used by such schools, you may want to take a look at this site:

I do not necessarily recommend the wording they use, as many of them do not speak English as a native language, but it is good to know their wording.

There is no need to include the word \"Holy\" or any such term of sanctification. You have no obligation to make the English sound more pious than the original text.
