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.

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 :

It was so hard to choose a winner here as all the answers helped me a great deal. I suppose Nikki provided a very detailed reply. Just for your info, it was a Belgian certificate!
Thanks to all of you. I really think there should be a way of dividing the points.

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.

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.

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?

8 hrs
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.
