USI Number

A USI (Unique Student Identifier) is a free 10-character code issued by the Australian Government for students completing nationally recognised training. It stays with you for life and keeps a secure online record of your education and training achievements. VET certificates cannot be issued to ANY student in Australia without this number. Students are required to create their own USI number and provide to the school for record keeping.

Instructions on creating and recording your USI are explained in this form. Follow instructions and email your completed form to asubk0@eq.edu.au
