Mandurah TAFE has adapted their training delivery to enable students to continue their studies for Term 2.
Using a blended delivery approach Term 2 will include learning via online and interactive technologies, and will include face-to-face delivery where necessary and where adequate social distancing measures can be implemented.
Mandurah MP David Templeman said Mandurah TAFE students should have confidence in the new blended delivery approach.
"The McGowan government has already made TAFE more affordable for Mandurah residents, now Mandurah TAFE has adapted to ensure students can continue to be trained and boost the economy," he said.
"TAFE students in Mandurah can have confidence in the new blended delivery approach.
"I know that Mandurah students are concerned about keeping up with their studies during these uncertain times, so that they can be job ready as soon as possible. We're supporting them to do just that."

The McGowan government has also fast-tracked vital funding for TAFE and some specialist private training providers to roll out new training for the state's aged care and disability sectors.
The COVID-19 Direct Care Skill Set will assist in protecting vulnerable people, aged care and disability workers from exposure to infectious disease. The course will run for up to two weeks, be over 99 per cent subsidised and will cost $22.
Education and Training minister Sue Ellery said the state's economic recovery requires the VET sector to respond quickly to emerging skills needed in the community.
"Right now we know there's a demand for skills in infectious disease management," she said.
"The COVID-19 Direct Care Skill Set allows workers in the aged care and disability sectors to upskill and helps people seeking to work in care roles to reskill quickly."
