Education Minister Jeremy Rockliff said courses would be offered at a new $14 million Trades and Water Centre of Excellence at TasTAFE's Clarence campus.

The government in its hydrogen action plan released this year identified Bell Bay and Burnie as potential hydrogen industry hubs.

Mr Rockliff said the centre would provide training for construction and civil contracting industries, including the water and sewerage infrastructure sector.

"We have been working with industry and know they want accredited courses and a delivery site, and that is what we will deliver," he said.

Mr Rockliff said the government had a target to lead the country in hydrogen energy production and exports by 2030 and TAFE would work with industry to ensure it developed the skills that would be required.

"As the industry and demand for renewable hydrogen grows in Tasmania, TasTAFE will look to roll out course delivery in other parts of the state," he said.

TasTAFE chief executive Jenny Dodd said the centre of excellence would consolidate plumbing and renewable energy training at a single site.

Labor's education spokeswoman Michelle O'Byrne said investment in the trades centre of excellence was welcome, but TAFE needed to have the ability to attract staff to do the training.

"It's great to have new investment in hydrogen and hydrogen qualifications, but we really want to be sure that we have skilled people to provide that training," she said.
