What is a Unique Student Number (USI)?

Keep all of your training and qualifications organised and up to date with your Unique Student Number

What is a USI?

The Australian Government has implemented a mandatory unique student identifier (USI) system for all participants who are undertaking nationally recognised training from 1st January 2015.

A USI account will contain all of your nationally recognised training records and results from 1 January 2015 onwards. Your results from 2015 will be available in your USI account in 2016. One of the main benefits of the USI is that you will have easy access to your training records and results throughout your life.

Do I need a USI?

You will need a USI when you enrol or in training from 1 January 2015 if you are a:

• student enrolling in nationally recognised training for the first time, for if you are studying at TAFE or with a private registered training organisation, completing an apprenticeship or skill set, certificate or diploma course;
• a school student completing nationally recognised training; or a continuing student* with nationally recognised training.
• You are a continuing student* if you are a student who has already started your course in a previous year (and not yet completed it) and will continue studying after 1 January 2015.

Note: All students enrolling in a course provided by All Class Training Pty Ltd will require a USI.

How do I get a USI?

It is free and easy to create your own USI online at www.usi.gov.au. You will need to supply your USI number to the trainer at the commencement of the course.
