The Competence-Based Education and Training (CBET) curriculum was acknowledged as one of the key interventions for enhancing competence for effective health care delivery. Implementation of the CBET calls for strengthening partnerships with the public-private sector as it ensures the much needed exposure in the world of work. This teachers’ guide will help in enhancing the key competencies, stipulated in the Certificate Nurse Curriculum in a structured and sequential manner to ensure standardization of training of certificate Nurse nationwide. Any Health-Training Provider and/or those who wish to present themselves for Professional Assessment and Certification in Nursing at Certificate level will use this Teacher’s Guide. Herewith, the Ministry of Education and Sports presents the Teacher’s Guide based on the revised edition of the Competence-Based Curriculum for training, assessing and certifying learners pursuing a Certificate in Nursing Training Programme. I appeal to all stakeholders involved in training of Certificate Nurse to implement the CBET curriculum training guide to enhance training of Nurses of high moral and professional standards who will provide quality health care in Uganda and beyond.
