Welcome to Pilbara Institute
(formerly Pilbara TAFE)
A new name means a new direction!
Pilbara TAFE has rebranded and become Pilbara Institute, with a fresh focus on delivering industry-relevant training with employment-based outcomes.
The setting is unique - a mix of vast plains and rugged gorges interspersed with some of the largest open cut mines in the world. In this environment, Pilbara Institute is committed to providing quality vocational education and training (VET) to all our clients from apprentices to trainees, small businesses, Aboriginal communities, corporations and individuals.
