not an adjective the term is used as THE postgraduaat, so it is not an adjective. And it is definitely Belgian.

dank je wel, Peter
agree LouisV (X) : but is probably an anglicism where previously the Dutch work 'Doctoraal' would have been used

not neccessarily, Louis. "Doctoraal" is used on universities, while "post graduaat" is used at Higher Vocational Education. Thank you, Louis!

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "a 'graduaat' is a Belgian technical diploma (just below university level. I was hoping someone knew an actual English equivalent. On the basis of the following: .. 'leads to a textile industrial engineering diploma (4 years), a polytechnic qualification in textiles and clothing (both 3 years, called 'graduaat' in Dutch). ...', www.febeltex.be/engels/partners.html - 32k - 18 Fe, so I am using post 'graduaat' degree course. Seems to be the solution most opted for. It is a post graduate level of study, so Jacqueline's answer is indeed most helpful. Thanks Jacqueline and everyone else too. "

Het vzw Postgraduaat Vormingscentrum is in 1983 opgericht door Hugo Pannier, toen lector aan de Mercator Hogeschool, met als doel blijvende bijscholing en vorming te verschaffen op het gebied van accountancy, fiscaliteit, economische-en rechtswetenschappen.

Inderdaad, als je afstudeert in de richting boekhouden/fiscaliteit/accountancy dan is het in onze huidige maatschappij onontbeerlijk om je kennis op het gebied van boekhouden, fiscaliteit, vennootschapswet, adviezen van de Commissie voor Boekhoudkundige Normen, de ontwikkeling in het beroep van accountant/belastingconsulent en boekhouder/fiscalist up to date te houden. "Permanente Vorming" noemt men dat, want al vlug besef je hoe vlug alles wijzigt van hetgeen je leerde.
