Lehramtsstudium / Lehramtsreferendariat
Explanation:
I personally did a Dual Diploma which involved an English PGCE and an Austrian Lehramt qualification. I've always assumed PGCE and Lehramt were therefore equivalents.

I have also seen references to Lehramstsreferendariat .

PS I think it's Post graduate certificate, not professional.

Perhaps leave the English term, but explain in German?

Sorry, I've just discovered that both Professional and post graduate certificates exist. They appear to be similar, although the post graduate one can be converted to a masters (i.e contributes credits towards one) whereas the professional one can't. It won't make any difference to your translation though!

Explanation:
The PGCE is the general university degree for teaching professionals, and gives you QTS (Qualified Teacher Status). Not sure what the equivalent is called in Germany, but hope this may help.
