From 1 January 2015, Austrain Academy can be prevented from issuing you with a nationally recognised VET qualification or statement of attainment when you complete your course if you do not have a Unique Student Identifier (USI). This applies whether you are doing a full Qualification or a single Unit of Competence.
If you have not yet obtained a USI you can apply for it directly at https://www.usi.gov.au/your-usi/create-usi on computer or mobile device.
Please note that if you would like to specify your gender as ‘other’ you will need to contact the USI Office for assistance.
If you would like us to apply for a USI on your behalf, you must authorise Austrain Academy to do so and declare that you have read the privacy information at https://www.usi.gov.au/documents/privacy-notice
If you have a USI, you must provide it to Austrain Academy for verification with the Student Identifiers Registrar.
If you have lost your USI, you may authorise Austrain Academy to locate it.
See below for more information and view our full USI Policy here.
The Transcript Service has been activated on the 22 May 2017.
From that date, USI account holders will be able to generate an online transcript which collates all training details reported to the national VET collections that are linked to their USI since January 2015.
Once activated, an RTO who has permission set by a student within their USI account will also be able to view and download their student’s USI Transcript.
More information on how students can give their RTOs permission from within their USI account, available here. Remember, this is optional for students and you can remove or modify permissions at any time.
