How to write a CBET Course Outline
Updated 31 Oct 2026
Short answer
A Course Outline lists a TVET unit's learning outcomes with their subtopics and contact hours, in one page or two for the head of department. It is the summary that the Learning Plan and Session Plans expand.
What a Course Outline contains
- Unit title, code, KNQF level and duration.
- Each learning outcome in curriculum order.
- The subtopics under each outcome.
- Contact hours per outcome, adding up to the unit total.
How it fits with the other documents
The Course Outline is the map. The Learning Plan puts it on a calendar, and the Session Plans teach it one session at a time.
Built from the same curriculum, the three always agree.
