Unique Student Identifier (USI)

From 1 January 2015, RTOs can be prevented from issuing you with a nationally recognised VET qualification or statement of attainment when you complete your course if you do not have a Unique Student Identifier (USI). In addition, we are required to include your USI in the data we submit to NCVER. If you have not yet obtained a USI, you can apply for it directly at https://www.usi.gov.au/students/create-your-usi on computer or mobile device. If you would like Techskill Academy to apply for a USI on your behalf you must authorise us to do so and declare that you have read the privacy information at https://www.usi.gov.au/about-us/privacy. You may be required to provide some additional information for us to apply for a USO on your behalf. In accordance with section 11 of the Student Identifiers Act (2014), Techskill Academy will securely destroy personal information which we collect from individuals solely for the purpose of applying for a USI on their behalf as soon as practicable after we have made the application, or the information is no longer needed for that purpose.

Surveys
You may receive a student survey which may be run by a government department or an NCVER employee, agent, third-party contractor or another authorised agency. Please note you may opt out of the survey at the time of being contacted.
