Then call it a non-profit rather than an NGO Non-Profit Vocational Education School or Non-Profit School for (Continuous) Vocational Education. Or something to that effect. We routinely speak of for-profit schools (yeah, there's a bunch of those "black sheep" around, none of them good) as opposed to the more common good old politically correct non-profit (yeah, right) schools in the US.

You are perfectly welcome to your strange British spelling:)

@The Misha thanks for stopping by :) I do have a penchant for the good old redundant British spelling, I must confess.
What I need is a not-so-coarse version of the brutal Russian abbreviation to explain it to the partners abroad.
I opted for NGO as I said it seems more important to stress that it is a not-for-profit and not a state-supported entity, rather than that it actually belongs to a private individual.

The Misha Oct 4, 2016:

Your own version is perfectly fine (except for that weirdly British "s" in "organisation," of course:)), if that's what you want to say. Still, an "organization for blah blah education" is commonly known as a school where I live, so why not call it what it seems to be - a private vocational school? Also, "private" is definitely not the same as "non-governmental," at least the connotation is totally different, but I know nothing of the broader background here, so you may actually be right on this. It also matters whether you need a safe Runglish name for some domestic purpose or other, or something that would be easily understood out there, beyond the reaches of the GOST:)

"Некоммерческие", КМК, лучше передать как non-profit as in ‘Non-profit organizations typically fall into one of two categories: public and private.’ -- http://smallbusiness.chron.com/difference-between-public-pri...

спасибо ЧУ определятся в ГК - статья 123.23 находится в части Некоммерческие организации, поэтому NGO (мне кажется, в передаче смысла _Частное_ учреждение важнее дихотомия governmental/non-governmental чем private/public)

‘Non-Governmental Organisation’ в оригинале не просматривается, ‘Supplementary and Continuing’ избыточно [1]

[1] Further education (often abbreviated FE) in the United Kingdom and Ireland, similar to continuing education in the United States, is a term used to refer to education (in addition to that received at secondary school), that is distinct from the higher education offered in universities.

@rns а покритикуйте мой собственный вариант Non-Governmental Organisation for Supplementary and Continuing Education, пожалуйста
