Twenty-one TAFE courses have had fees removed to allow Australians to upskill while in isolation.

New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian flagged the new courses on Monday morning as the state prepares for a “recovery phase” of the coronavirus outbreak.

“We know the next six months are going to be difficult and what we have done today is announce that through TAFE there are 21 free courses you can do from home to upgrade your skills or to acquire new skills,” she told reporters.

“It means people can start preparing for when these difficult times are over.

“If you haven’t got a job or not working from home it is an opportunity for you to upgrade your skills or acquire new skills so you can enter or re-enter the workforce when you finish this difficult time.”

A vast majority of face-to-face TAFE courses have already been suspended across NSW.

The halt will be in place until at least the end of April, the state government has previously said.
