A MOVE to make many TAFE training courses free in South Australia has lifted enrolments and will help grow jobs, the state government says.

Courses have been free or heavily subsidised since July and latest figures show a 48 per cent increase in the number of people starting certificate one and two training in a variety of disciplines including engineering, information technology, education and children's services.

Overall, enrolments across all courses are up by 14,000, the government says.

"One of the biggest barriers to people getting the skills they need for a good job has been the cost of training courses," Premier Jay Weatherill said on Wednesday.

"By making training courses free and subsidised, many more people are getting the skills they need for better jobs."

Employment Minister Tom Kenyon said training and education were great drivers of innovation and productivity.

"Productivity drives employment growth and it drives profits and it drives economic growth," he said.

"So it (training) not only helps people get the jobs that are there, it creates jobs."
