NEW FREE COURSES TO SUPPORT NSW IN PANDEMIC

Thirteen new fee-free TAFE NSW short courses are available online to assist NSW residents upskill during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Following an overwhelming response to the initial suite of courses launched earlier in April, the NSW Government will use the new courses to replace those that have reached enrolment capacity. These new courses ensure there is a total 21 accredited courses available for people to study.

Premier Gladys Berejiklian said around 85,000 people had enrolled in the fee-free courses since they were announced three weeks ago to assist job seekers and workers.

“The incredible uptake to the initial 21 fee-free short courses shows that while many businesses across NSW are in hibernation there is a strong desire to upskill and gain new qualifications during this challenging time,” Ms Berejiklian said.

The 13 new short courses include:
  • Leading Teams
  • Digital Security Basics
  • Build your Digital Literacy with Coding
  • Create a Brand Presentation; and
  • Undertaking Projects and Managing Risk.

Minister for Skills and Tertiary Education Geoff Lee said more than 33,000 people who enrolled in the fee-free courses were studying at TAFE NSW for the first time.

“The NSW Government is committed to providing opportunities for people to upskill so that they can get the promotion or job they want once this pandemic ends. I encourage everyone to use this time to increase their skills,” Mr Lee said.
