Unique Student Identifier
As this course is nationally accredited, each participant will need a Unique Student Identifier (USI). This links all training records together for students undertaking nationally recognised training, rather than these records only being kept by each training organisation. Statements of Attainments and White Cards cannot be issued to Students without a USI.
If you do not have a USI, apply online at www.usi.gov.au.
