What is a USI?
The USI is the acronym for Unique Student Identifier. It is an identifier that links your educational and training history to educational entities. If you do not possess a USI, you cannot be awarded your level of qualification or certificate.
Why Do I Need One?
Under the Unique Student Identifiers Act 2014, any Registered Training Provider (RTO) that supplies nationally recognised training for any student in the United States must have a valid USI for each student enrolled in 2015. This is only the case during enrolment if you don’t have an exemption issued by the USI registrar.

If you are having trouble creating a USI, we will assist you during the orientation session on the first day of your course.
