Have you got your number? The new Unique Student Identifier (USI)…
January 14th, 2015
The Australian Government has just implemented a scheme to help bring records of nationally accredited training together in the one place!
From 01 January 2015, all participants undertaking nationally accredited training will require a Unique Student Identifier (USI).
The USI will:
• give individuals easier access to their training records
• enable individuals to view and update their details from any location at any time and
• ensure that records are maintained over time (no more lost competency records - yippee)!
So what does this mean for you?
TH9 provides a number of nationally accredited courses including the Clean and Inspect Machinery Hygiene Course (CIMHC) and the Agricultural Chemicals Distribution and Control Course (ACDC).
Participants who undertake this training will require a Unique Student Identifier before they can complete the training.
If a USI is not provided, training providers cannot by law issue you a Certificate, Statement of Attainment or Transcript of your training.
How do participant’s register for a USI?
Individual’s can register for a USI at the Department of Industry’s new website. Simply click ”create a USI” and follow the directions. For future reference, USI’s should be kept safe and handy.
