TIDE started operations in February 2004. While working to build the business in through 2004, we became a registered training organisation (RTO) in February 2005 and an accredited VicRoads heavy vehicle training and testing provider in June 2005.

January 2006, we brought a fresh look to the transport training sector. While striving to make our business better, we were able to bring all training requirements for the transport sector under a 'one provider' structure. We are able to provide to the transport sector and prospective entrants into this industry a one-stop shop for all their training requirements.

February 2006 brought our first community based project. This project involved TIDE working with a local learning group, giving each of these students the opportunity to work with the transport industry equipment. This will hopefully give each of these young adults the understanding of this machinery, while also giving them an appreciation on how the transport sector may help them with future work prospects.

July 2007 saw TIDE be registered as a company, moving away from the initial sole trader operating structure.

September 2007 introduced certificate based training under the Federal Governments (Liberal Government) 'Skills Voucher' program where we specialised in training for the unemployed. While this program was successful on all levels for TIDE, it was replaced in May 2008 with Federal Governments (Labor Government) 'Productivity Places Program', again focussing on the unemployed sector.

October 2009 again seen changes in our business. During this period, TIDE implemented a workplace training program for companies wishing to train their staff on the job. This business change allowed for the business to move its operations into South Australia.
