Located in a region covering more than 500,000 square kilometers and serving a population of 40,000, Pilbara TAFE is the largest training provider in North West WA. The setting is unique - a mix of vast plains and rugged gorges interspersed with some of the largest open cut mines in the world. Other industries which contribute to the region's strong economic foundations are the massive oil and gas production facilities, salt mines, pastoral leases and cattle stations. In this environment, Pilbara TAFE is committed to providing quality vocational education and training (VET) to all our clients from apprentices to trainees, small businesses, indigenous communities, corporations and individuals.
