Before enrolling in a Nationally Recognised course, you must have your own Unique Student Identifier (USI). Your USI m
ust be recorded on your enrolment form upon enrolment. DELTRA Australia does not issue Qualifications or Statements of Attainment to students who have not provided us with their USI.
If you have attended training with DELTRA Australia prior to 1 January 2015 but have not yet completed your workplace assessment, you must also obtain your USI before we can issue your Qualification or Statement of Attainment.
What is a USI?
If you’re studying nationally recognised training in Australia from 1 January 2015, you will be required to have a Unique Student Identifier (USI).
Your USI links to an online account that contains all your training records and results (transcript) that you have completed from 1 January 2015 onwards. Your results from 2015 will be available in your USI account in 2016.
When applying for a job or enrolling in further study, you will often need to provide your training records and results (transcript). One of the main benefits of the USI is the ability to provide students with easy access to their training records and results (transcript) throughout their life.
You can access your USI account online from your computer, tablet or smart phone anytime.
What are the benefits of the USI?
A key benefit of your Unique Student Identifier (USI) is that it will enable the consolidation of information on nationally recognised Vocational Education and Training (VET) completed by you after 1 January 2015 onwards. The information is based on the data about your training reported by your training organisations to the National VET Provider Collection managed by the National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER).
Training organisations are required to submit this information to the NCVER at least once a year. From 2016, following the annual data collection, you will be able to access your USI account to view the information on your training online or to generate authenticated or extract printed transcripts, which you can provide to prospective employers. The information you will be able to view from that time will relate only to the training you completed after 1 January 2015 and reported to the NCVER by your training organisations.
How to get a USI
It’s free and easy to create your own USI and will only take a few minutes of your time. You can apply for your USI by accessing the Australian Government Department of Industry website.
