There have been a few questions relating to PGCHE certificates, including:
- How is PGCHE by distance learning viewed relative to in-class?How is PGCHE by distance learning viewed relative to in-class?
- What is the purpose of peer evaluation of teaching?What is the purpose of peer evaluation of teaching?

As far as I understand, the PGCHE is more specific to higher education (hence the HE). However, there is another more general PGCE which deals with education overall (not limited to higher education).
Given that the PCGHE is more specific, do faculty selection committees value the PGCHE as a 'better qualification' when hiring a lecturer or do they simply consider that someone has specific training in teaching and there is no significant difference? Does this vary by country?
