It has become a Federal Government
requirement that all people undergoing Vocational Educational Training (VET)
must now apply for a USI (Unique Student Identifier). This includes all school
students as well as adult learners.
This process can only be
completed online, and the school requires a USI for all students to present any
Vocational Educational Training (VET) certificates. The USI is linked to the
National Vocational Education and Training (VET) Data Collection, and this
means an individual’s nationally recognised training and qualifications gained
anywhere in Australia, from different training organisations, will be kept all
together.
Please follow the instructions
below:
