It's about a language exam and the text will appear on the website. I'm not really sure whether I need to translate the "Rahmen" bit at all? I've seen the kind of documents in question. The Testspezifikationen describes the format of the test, the type of tasks involved and the assessment criteria. The Rahmencurriculum is more theoretical and academic.

Hi Diana,
whether I need to translate the "Rahmen" bit at all?...not really, a bit pleonastic. A curriculum is a framework anyway.
To contrast it with the vollständigen Handbuch, you could say…A curriculum outlining the….together with the complete manual/handbook…
Best regards

framework curriculum
I don't think you should ignore Rahmen, and it has an exact English equivalent so you may as well use it.

Discussion
Thank you vor your comment. "Curriculum outline" originally came to my mind as a possibility but I've found out that this term is used for rather detailed instructions. Maybe "structure" is sufficiently "neutral" to make sense?
Is there a supplementary curriculum? Instruction on subjects that are not necessarily covered in the exam?
It is perhaps more the framework within which the curriculum has been put together and not the framework of the curriculum itself(=curriculum framework)?
