Unique Student Identifier

Learn how to obtain and submit your Unique Student Identifier (USI) for Validum Institute enrolment, ensuring compliance with VET requirements and secure certification records.

From 1 January 2015, any person undertaking a nationally recognised learning course or Units of Competency will need a USI (Unique Student Identifier). This is a mandatory Commonwealth Government requirement.

The USI is a number issued by the Commonwealth Government which is unique to you. Your USI will consist of a random combination of numbers and letters.

Once you have your USI, it will give you access to your learning records and results (transcripts) through your online government account. A USI will be required before you can commence your course with the Validum Institute.

What if I already have a USI?

If you already have a USI, please ensure that you include it in your ENROLMENT FORM. If you fail to supply us with your USI number, we will not be able to issue your Statement of Attainment.

What if I do not have a USI?

If you do not have a USI, simply create one via the government website: https://www.usi.gov.au/your-usi/create-usi

If your USI application is successful, the USI Registrar will advise you directly of your USI number.

If you do not have a USI or cannot provide Validum with your USI, your course enrolment will remain incomplete and we will not be able to send you your course login details to start the course.  Under no circumstances can you start a course with Validum or be issued with a Statement of Attainment without a valid USI.
