Unique Student Identifier - What Is It & Why Do I Need It?

A Unique Student Identifier, or USI, is a unique sequence of numbers given to you upon application and is important for anyone considering study options. As of 1st January 2015, everyone undertaking nationally recognised VET courses will need to have a USI. If you already have a USI, please supply that to us when you book into our class or apply for one online prior to attending the class.

Why Do I Need A USI?

 

Your Unique Student Identifier will help keep your training records and results together in an online account controlled by you, and each time you enrol to study with a new training organisation, your USI will be used to store your training records and results.

By having a USI you will be able to access your training records and results (or transcript) whenever you need them. For example, for a new employer or when you enrol to study at a new training organisation.

The USI will stay with a person for life and be recorded with any nationally recognised VET course that is undertaken from 1st January 2015. The College will not be allowed to issue Certificates or Statements of Attainment unless we have the student’s USI recorded.

 

PRIOR TO ATTENDING OUR ACCREDITED FOOD SAFETY/BARISTA CLASS YOU MUST APPLY FOR A UNIQUE STUDENT IDENTIFIER.
