A Unique Student Identifier (USI) is a reference number made up of numbers and letters that creates a lifetime record for an individual of all the nationally recognized training that has been completed. Under the Unique Student Identifiers Act 2014, all RTOs must ensure they have a valid USI for any student that enrolls in nationally recognised training from 2015. This means (unless you have an exemption issued by the USI registrar) that as a student you must provide us with your USI.
If you have done nationally recognised training in Australia since 2015, you probably have a USI. To find your USI, please visit:

If you haven’t done nationally recognised training in Australia since 2015, you will need to create your USI, please visit:
