USI is the acronym for Unique Student Identifier. It is a reference number that creates an online record of your training and qualifications attained in Australia. If you don’t have a USI, then you can’t be awarded your qualification or statement of attainment.
Every student must have a verified USI without which qualification will not be issued.
Under the Unique Student Identifiers Act 2014, all RTOs must ensure they have a valid USI for any student that enrols 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.
