Morphology
course + of + instruction
The phrase is directly compositional: 'course' (a series of lessons) combined with 'instruction' (teaching) yields the meaning 'a series of lessons for teaching'. The linking preposition 'of' is grammatical only and the structure is common cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will understand it.
Etymology
Course of instruction uses the idea of course as a 'path' or route and instruction as 'teaching'. It gives the picture of lessons laid out like steps along that path, so it means a planned series of lessons to teach a skill.
