Unique Student Identifier (USI)

If you are undertaking nationally recognised training, the government requires that you provide us
with your Unique Student Identifier (USI).

The USI is a reference number that:

• Creates a secure online record of your recognised training and qualifications gained in
  Australia, from all training providers you undertake recognised training with
• Will give you access to your training records and transcripts
• Can be accessed online at anytime
• Is free and easy to create
• Stays with you for life

You will be unable to commence training without a USI. Where a USI has been provided, but we
are unable to verify the number, you will be contacted to assist in determining the issue.

We will make all reasonable attempts to validate your USI, however it your ultimate responsibility to
provide us with a valid number (transposed figures or incorrect letters and capitalisation are
common causes). No AQF certification can be issued without a valid USI.

You must provide your USI when you complete our Enrolment Form, otherwise email it to courses@skillstrategies.edu.au.
