AMBER WRIGHT

TRANSPORT INDUSTRY TRAINING SOLUTIONS

Meet Amber Wright, a passionate advocate for quality training across the transport industry. After 15 years working FIFO and on the road, motherhood prompted Amber to reassess her future – and what she discovered shocked her. Training had become a “tick and flick” exercise, with little focus on learner needs, industry relevance, or real job-readiness. Determined to drive change instead of just talking about it, Amber founded Transport Industry Training Solutions. Over the past six months she has built engaging, practical training packages designed for small–medium operators and individuals who want more than just a licence — they want genuine competency and confidence. Amber tailors all training through workplace needs analysis, delivers blended learning to minimise downtime, and ensures content supports neurodiverse learners, including those with ADHD and dyslexia. She is especially proud of her detailed TLILIC0001 – Transport Dangerous Goods course, developed to be informative, accessible, and actually interesting! To help bridge the gap between licensing and real-world skills, Amber has also united experts to deliver New to Industry Training — covering road train configurations, dollies, maintenance basics, and the fundamentals new drivers often miss. Amber’s mission is clear: ✅ Make training relevant ✅ Make training accessible ✅ Make training great again If you’re keen to support new entrants or want tailored training for your team, Amber would love to connect. 👏 We’re proud to celebrate Amber and her commitment to lifting standards across our industry!
