DO YOU HAVE A UNIQUE STUDENT IDENTIFIER (USI)
From January 1st 2015, anyone who completes nationally recognised training in Australia, will be required to have a 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. All your studies undertaken after January 1st 2015 will be recorded against your USI.
When applying for a job or enrolling in further study, you will 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). The USI will be available online and at no cost to the student.
This USI will stay with you for life and be recorded with any nationally recognised VET course that is undertaken. You can create your USI now by visiting www.usi.gov.au
What this means for you?
If you are completing the AHA’s nationally recognised Responsible Service of Alcohol course you will need to either:
Provide your existing USI if you have one already; or
The AHA can apply for one on your behalf, this process will be integrated into the normal AHA online training registration process.
For further information regarding the new USI implementation, please contact the AHA Training Department on 9321 7701 or email Certificates for training completed after 1 Jan 2015 cannot be issued without a student USI number.
