What we are about

Desert to Coast is a family‑owned training business committed to student success. We combine high-quality assessment with trainers who have substantial industry experience, so learning goes beyond theory to workplace‑relevant practice. 

Local, industry‑led and student‑focussed, we deliver training that meets employer expectations and prepares learners to enter or advance in their careers with confidence. 

Why choose us

Our business is built on presence and partnership: we live and work in the Pilbara and Mid West rather than flying in and out. We understand the region’s needs, respond quickly, and invest in our communities. 

Putting the customer first isn’t just a slogan - it’s how we run every job. From on‑site support and tailored solutions to reliable communication and long‑term maintenance, our team is available when you need us and focused on delivering results that last.

Good Communication
Desert to Coast are awesome. Full of great people who made my learning easy and enjoyable. The communication was especially good when some unforeseen circumstances forced my original training date to have to be rescheduled. I would highly recommend DtC for any training needs.

Great Instructor!
Having never driver a synchromesh HR truck, after 2 training sessions, I felt ready for the assessment. Justin was a great instructor and provided very useful tips and techniques to increase my confidence. I passed the assessment and have my HR-B license. Thanks to the team at Desert to Coast Training!

Fantastic Team!
The team down at Desert to Coast were fantastic throughout the whole process. The front office staff and trainers were friendly, supportive and deliver an excellent program. My experience with trainer and assessor Matt exceeded my expectations. Matt is a great bloke that was very knowledgeable and calm; he made for a brilliant trainer. In my experience, desert to coast is a no brainer for your HR license here in Karratha.

Excellent quality!
Excellent quality driving instructors, after only a few lessons I was able to go from 'Novice' to 'Qualified' on my first attempt. Steven was very knowledgeable and authentic in his approach, would definitely recommend giving them a go!
