Explanation:
"tecnico" sounds rather pompous to my ear and I think it can be easilly translated as staff or personnel. Or you might say trained personnel...

Explanation:
I'm not clear whether this refers to the name of the course or the qualification. If it's the latter, you could say specialist.

Am I right in saying that because it's "tecnico" and not "tecnica", it's the individual/qualification rather than the subject of the course?

If capo sala/maitre, depending on where they'd worked more than qualif¡cation, I'd say maitre (hotel), bar manager, head waiter.

See
