A Unique Student Identifier (USI) is a reference number made up of numbers and letters that creates a secure online record of your nationally recognised training and qualifications completed in Australia.

Under Australian Government legislation, Collins Institute of Training cannot issue a Statement of Attainment or Qualification unless a valid USI has been provided.

Providing Your USI

  • If you require assistance creating or locating your USI, please contact Student Support.

Privacy Notice
Your USI and personal information will be handled in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 and the RTO’s Privacy Policy.
