German term
Das Plus an Bildung
German to English
Social Sciences
Education / Pedagogy
This is a claim for an educational institute for the Handwerkskammer. I need to translate it for an interview in a local bi-lingual business magazine. It's also the title of the article.
Here's a short excerpt with what is meant by "Plus":
"das „Plus an Bildung“ steht einerseits für die besonders innovativen Angebote unseres Bildungshauses. Bei uns soll der Kunde das notwendige „Plus“ erhalten, um beruflich oder unternehmerisch erfolgreich zu sein, von der überbetrieblichen über Meisterkursen bis hin zum Studienabschluss."
So far I have come up with "More Education" or "More than Education", but I would appreciate other (better?) ideas!

Additional Value Education
It is literally "mehr wert"

There are obviously some pithy variations on this one, so if anyone prefers added value or value-added education, that's fine by me!

Extra Education / Education Extras
a suggestion that would seem to fit the context.

Or you might even say "Additional training / education".
That would keep the 'plus' idea...

: this does not have the adding-on dimension, in fact I thought "cutting edge" was like being at the forefront of new developments?

: I like the "edge" idea, but not "cutting". Perhaps "Education with an edge"? Then "das notwendige Plus" in the text can be "the necessary edge" to succeed, etc.

For that extra portion of education
Ich bin davon ausgegangen, dass Du etwas brauchst, was Du auch im Fließtext als Extra - also etwas, was "obendrauf gepackt wird" - ansprechen kannst.
Falls Dir dieser Vorschlag zu marktschreierisch klingt, könntest Du auch abschwächen: Your extra portion of education.
Oder vielleicht auch etwas mit "extra bonus"?
Anderer Gedanke: "education" klingt mir fast noch etwas holprig in einem Claim. Wie wär's mit "For that extra portion of knowledge"?

the education edge - or - the education advantage
Two suggestions.
Both short, because it is the title of the article.
