full-time & short-course (3-4 yrs) Explanation: I needed to understand what it meant first. Here’s what I found for : « Enseignement superieur pedagogique de plein exercice et de type court » It would appear to be “full-time short course higher education” (covering a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 4 years). However, this leaves out “pédagogique” and I am unsure of how to take that element into account. 1 - First a Belgian source (lots of refs in fact to Belgium for your term and to medical, para-medical and social career education) http://www.fef.be/activite/info/legal/19950805_he.html Section 2. - Enseignement supérieur de type court modifié par D. 12-12-2000 Article 14. - § 1er. L'enseignement supérieur de type court est dispensé en un seul cycle comptant au moins trois années d'études et au plus quatre années d'études. § 2. L'enseignement supérieur de type court associe sur le plan pédagogique la théorie et la pratique, les stages en milieu professionnel ou en laboratoire occupant un temps à déterminer dans le respect des dispositions légales, décrétales et réglementaires par le projet pédagogique, social et culturel. 2 - After having found that and read that these definitions are Europe specific, I checked out the EuroDicAutom which, surprise surprise, came up with : French Term Enseignement supérieur de type court English Term short course higher education Reference BTB 3 – “de plein exercice” = à temps plein http://www.trainingvillage.gr/scripts/glossarium/index.idc?I... FR 1. école à temps plein 2. enseignement à temps plein (F) 1. Filière de formation de plein exercice. (L) 2. Définit par exemple la formation professionnelle pratiquée en lycée ou en IUT par opposition ? la formation en alternance, qui partage le temps de formation entre le centre de formation et l'entreprise. L'enseignement strictement à temps plein n'existe plus, dans la mesure où chaque élève doit effectuer un stage qui peut aller jusqu'à vingt semaines pour des bacs professionnels. La loi d'orientation sur l'éducation de 1989 fait obligation d'instaurer une période de formation en entreprise pour toutes les formations préparant un diplôme de l'enseignement technique ou professionnel. 2. Les organisations professionnelles et les syndicats sont très réservés vis-à-vis d'une généralisation des formations en alternance, dont elles ne contrôleraient pas le développement. webrefs in body of answer |

Higher level teacher training certificate, full-time, short course. Explanation: I was interested in the others' remarks about plein exercise and de type court, and I am sure they are right. However, in UK English, a short course runs to weeks, not years. You may want to find a circumlocution, and mention the actual length of the course (if you can ask the subject). I am pretty sure that a pedagogique course must refer to teacher training, or at least to a qualification that allows you to teach. Experience in UK Ministry of Education and French schools and universities. |

comments Explanation: Reading Kenny's anwser was useful here. I too was surprised to discover that in Belgian contexts, 3-4 years was considered short-term. (http://www.fef.be/activite/info/legal/19950805_he.html Section 2. - Enseignement supérieur de type court modifié par D. 12-12-2000 Article 14. - § 1er. L'enseignement supérieur de type court est dispensé en un seul cycle comptant au moins trois années d'études et au plus quatre années d'études.) Then again, higher education courses can be anything from 1 year (I am thinking of the post-grad PGCE, if that still exists back in the UK) and on through the post Bachelor level (3-4 yrs) Master's (1 or 2 more years) and then onto the doctorate levels, not forgetting medical, legal and architectural qualifications which are very long too. It might be helpful if we knew which country was concerned? |

intensive course Explanation: could de type court be an intensive course? I don't know if that would work in your context but courses are said to be intensive if they are considered to impart the same amount of content and knowledge as the longer , more standard course in a briefer time period. |
