Janette Dines's Company Details
All students undertaking university study or nationally recognised training need to have a Unique Student Identifier (USI). This includes students doing Vocational Education Training (VET) when they are still at school.WHAT IS A USI?The USI is a lifelong education number made up of ten numbers and letters that:• creates a secure online record of recognised training and qualifications gained in Australia since 1 January 2015• provides access to your training records and VET transcripts• can be accessed online, anytime and anywhere• is free and easy to create.WHO NEEDS A USI AND WHY?If you're at university, TAFE or doing other nationally recognised training, you need a USI. Without one, you can't get Commonwealth financial assistance or your qualification or statement of attainment.International students studying offshore do not need a USI. However, if you are an Australian expat or resident student studying offshore with an Australian training organisation, you need to get one.Your USI gives you access to an online record of the training you've completed since 1 January 2015. It also gives VET students access to a comprehensive VET transcript of completed training. This can be used when applying for a job, seeking a credit transfer or demonstrating pre-requisites when undertaking further training.Find out more about the USI on our website.
