What students say about us

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.

Mitchell Sobieralski

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!

Luke Garlick

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!
