Notes to answerer
Asker: Regentaat? - I had discovered your answer in Van Dale, but I wasn't sure because of the singular use in some sentences.

agree  Kirsten Bodart: I would add the 'lower' to the phrase and maybe 'programs' at the end, because it seems to be referring to the course side of things.

  -> Thanks. Some lack of context, in US EN we would easily say "the teacher training" requested....
neutral  writeaway: the Belgian reference below explains it well. The English offered is too broad. there are 6 years of secondary school in Belgium/I only know what I know because my son went through the system. So Van Dale will definitely be better

  -> Thank you for your comment. However, the information is all there. The referenced dictionary says: (lower level) secondary teacher training

teacher training colleges


Explanation:
In de online encyclopedie wordt het omschreven als lerarenopleiding. In Engeland wordt echter geen onderscheid gemaakt tussen leraren die lesgeven aan verschillende jaargroepen in het middelbaar onderwijs. Je bent gewoon bevoegd als leraar in het basisonderwijs of in het middelbaar onderwijs.

Reference: regentaat

Reference information:
“Het woord regent (vrouwelijk: regentes) werd in Vlaanderen gebruikt voor een leraar die onderwijsbevoegdheid had voor de vier eerste jaren van het secundair onderwijs. [...] De opleiding tot regent noemde men het regentaat (nog oudere benaming is de "middelbare normaalschool").”

agree  Kirsten Bodart: Ik dacht wel dat het de eerste drie waren (lagere cyclus), zoals wordt aangegeven voor licentiaten (hogere cyclus) op wikipedia, maar de referentie blijft toepasbaar op toch de eerste drie.
9 mins
agree  Steven Segaert: Toen ik (lang geleden) naar school ging, was een regent "bevoegd" voor de eerste drie jaren. Dat systeem is later gewijzigd, maar of se dan de eerste vier jaren "lagere cyclus" zijn gaan noemen weet ik niet.
