What can I do if I want LaTeX to give me 'CHAPTER 1: ' etc, instead of just numbers like '1 'etc as it normally do? I want it to write the word 'CHAPTER' in capitals followed by chapter number then ':' colon and the 'CHAPTER TITLE' in capitals too. May you please assist. It should look like this:

CHAPTER 1: THE CHAPTER ONE
1.1 The section one
1.1.1 The subsection one

    (1) welcome, (2) this depends on the document class you use, you do not give any details so I'll assume a standard class, in that case have a look at the tocloft package, it han handle such designs – daleif Aug 19 '16 at 11:20

Something like this? I'used titlesec and titletoc:

\documentclass[12pt]{book}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{fourier, erewhon, cabin}

\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage[clearempty]{titlesec}
\usepackage{titletoc}
\usepackage{lipsum} \addto\captionsenglish{ \renewcommand*\contentsname{\centerline{Table of contents}}}

\titleformat{\chapter}[display]%
{\null\vskip1em\sffamily\bfseries\Large\filcenter}{Chapter \thechapter}{2ex}{\LARGE}[]
\titleformat{name = \chapter, numberless}[block]%
{\null\vskip1em\sffamily\bfseries\Large\filcenter}{}{0em}{\LARGE}
\titlespacing*{\chapter}{0em}{-2\baselineskip}{6\baselineskip}

\titlecontents{chapter}
[7em] % ie, width of contentslabel + 0.5em
{\bigskip}
{\contentslabel[\MakeUppercase\chaptername~\thecontentslabel]{6.5em}\MakeUppercase}%\thecontentslabel
{\hspace*{-6.5em}\MakeUppercase}
{\hfill\contentspage}[\medskip]

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents
\newpage

\chapter*{An Unnumbered Chapter}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{An Unnumbered Chapter}
\chapter{Chapter One}
\lipsum[1]
\section{A first nice section}
\lipsum[2-5]
\subsection{A first subsection}
\lipsum[6]
\chapter{Chapter Two}
Content

\end{document}

enter image description here

Or maybe this code:

\titlecontents{chapter}
[6.5em] % 
{\bigskip}
{\contentslabel[\MakeUppercase\chaptername~\thecontentslabel]{6.5em}\MakeUppercase}%\thecontentslabel
{\hspace*{-6.5em}\MakeUppercase}
{\hfill\contentspage}[\smallskip]

\titlecontents{section}
 [0em] % i
 {\medskip}
 {\thecontentslabel\enspace}%\thecontentslabel
 {\hspace*{-6.5em}}
 {\hfill\contentspage}%]

\titlecontents{subsection}
 [0em] %
 {\smallskip}
 {\thecontentslabel\enspace}%\thecontentslabel
 {\hspace*{-6.5em}}
 {\hfill\contentspage}
