About the Unique Student Identifier (USI)

A unique Student identifier (USI) is a reference number made up of numbers and letters that gives students access to their USI account. A USI will allow an individual’s USI account to be linked to the National Vocational Education and Training (VET) Data Collection allowing an individual to see all of their training results from all provider including all completed training units and qualifications.

The USI will make it easier for students to find and collate their VET achievements into a single authenticated transcript. It will also ensure that students VET records are not lost.

The USI will be available online and at no cost to the student. This USI will stay with the student for life and be recorded with any nationally recognised VET course that is completed from when the USI comes into effect on 1 January 2015.

A student needs a USI when enrolling or re-enrolling in nationally recognised training from 1 January
2015. This includes if the student is enrolling for the first time, for example, if they are studying at TAFE
or with a private training organisation, completing an apprenticeship or skill set, certificate or diploma
course. It also applies to student’s continuing or completing (re-enrolling) training, including nationally
recognised training undertaken in secondary school.
