Italian term or phrase: ISEF

Hi again
While I wrestle with regolarità, I wonder if you can help me again with a good parenthetic definition in English of an ISEF in the educational context. Seems to be some kind of further education instution, but I'm not clear on it.
TIA
Derek

College of Physical Education

Explanation:
As you requested an explanation in English... this is the one the Hazon Dictionary gives and I think it is very close. In fact, the complete name is "Istituto Superiore di Educazione Fisica" and once it gave a "diploma parauniversitario", while now it gives a "short degree" (laurea breve) after three years, with a psossibility of going on until achieving a normal degree in "motor science" ("scienze motorie"). I hope it helps!
