WHAT IS UNIQUE STUDENT IDENTIFIER (USI)?

If you are studying nationally recognised training in Australia you will be required to have a Unique Student Identifier (USI). EQUALS is an internationally recognised and Registered Training Organisation (registered with the Australian Quality Training Framework). Your USI links to an online account that contains all your training records and results (transcript) that you have completed from 1 January 2015 onwards.

Your results from 2015 will be available in your USI account. You will be able access your USI account online from your computer, tablet or smartphone anytime. By signing the EQUALS enrolment form, you confirm acceptance of the USI privacy statement (to set a link page on EQUALS website or work on a short and precise statement here)

HOW TO GET A USI

It’s free and easy to create your own USI and will only take a few minutes of your time. Once you have created your USI, please log into your Learner Portal and enter it for your records.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THE USI?

It will enable the consolidation of information on nationally recognised Vocational Education and Training (VET) completed by you after 1 January 2015 onwards.

WHEN WILL MY RECORDS AND RESULTS APPEAR IN MY USI ACCOUNT?

You will find that information about the training you completed in your USI account when EQUALS has provided their next report to the NCVER. For information, please contact learnerservices@equals.edu.au.

WILL MY USI ACCOUNT HAVE TRAINING COMPLETED BEFORE THE 1 JANUARY 2015?

You should note that it will not be possible for your USI account to include any information about the training you undertook before 1 January 2015 as such information is retrospective to the commencement of the scheme and the system is not designed to include training completed before 2015.
