Unique Student Identifier

The Unique Student Identifier (USI) is a mandatory requirement for anyone wishing to complete Nationally Recognised VET qualification as of 1 January 2015. Each time a student completes nationally recognised training, the RTO collects and verifies their USI before they can issue a qualification or statement of attainment. In addition, we are required to include your USI in the data we submit to NCVER.

The USI scheme allows students to access a single online record of their VET achievements. Each person will be assigned with a USI. NST will obtain and verify the student’s USI at the time of enrolment. CAN United Pty Ltd will comply with the Student Identifiers Act 2014.

The USI is an identifier known only to the issuing RTO, the student, and the department. All students undertaking vocational education and training must hold a Unique Student Identifier (USI) and provide it to NST during the enrolment process. If students do not provide a USI, CAN United Pty Ltd will not be able to issue a Certificate, Statement of Attainment or Transcript for the training. For details on USI, visit www.usi.gov.au. NST Student Services staff can assist you to obtain your USI on request.

USI does not appear on any certificates, statements of attainment or other public documents issued by CAN United Pty Ltd. It is in the student’s best interest to keep this identifier in a safe place. If the student forgets their USI, it is possible to retrieve the information from the Department’s website www.usi.gov.au.
