Eligible WA construction workers and employers may be able to reduce training costs through the WA Government’s Construction Training Fund (CTF). The CTF offers rebates on approved short courses and employer grants that help offset apprentice/trainee training costs. Check eligibility and how to claim via the CTF’s site.

Training Summary

If you need an LR or MR licence for any reason, speak to our staff about lessons. We have three staff members fully qualified to conduct lessons in your vehicle.

Please be aware, Desert to Coast do not have an LR or MR vehicle and will require students to provide their own vehicle for training and assessment. A Department of Transport issued learner’s permit will be required prior to lessons taking place. All tests are conducted at the Department of Transport and can be booked via the DoT Direct website. If you would like a lesson for the hour before your test, please refrain from booking and contact our staff to ensure the instructor is available at that time. Our instructors are available to escort you to your test and wait during your assessment to escort you home afterwards again. This will be charged out at a full hour. If you would like to book or have any other enquiries, please contact our staff.

If you have held your full Western Australian Driver’s Licence for two (2) years, (are off your P plates), you may be eligible to do our HR training. A HR will allow you to drive LR, MR and HR vehicles. We have multiple HR trucks for our students to use and can do the entire process in-house, no learner’s permit required, and testing is done by our own assessors. Many students find this option to be more appealing than LR/MR as a year after completion, you are eligible to do your MC licence (road train). Please contact our office for more information on your options when it comes to truck licencing.

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!
