From 1 July 2018, all Surf Life Saving Club Members have the exciting opportunity to have all courses aligned to Nationally Recognised Training (Certificate level qualification or units of competency) banked against their USI Transcript.
The USI Transcript allows a student to see all the competencies or qualifications they have achieved through any RTO they have been assessed through – all in one place. This will ultimately make it easier for Club Members to apply for recognition for units they have previously achieved either through other RTOs (bringing it into use at SLSQ) and for taking what they have achieved through SLSQ, elsewhere.
For this to occur, all Surf Life Saving club members who undertake accredited courses which are aligned to Nationally Recognised Training (qualifications or units of competency) with SLSQ after 1st July 2018 will need to provide their Unique Student Identifier (USI) number before their certificates can be issued.
CREATING A USI
- Individuals who have not yet created a USI will need to do so by visiting: https://www.usi.gov.au/students/create-usi
- To create your USI you will need to have some form of identification as part of the verification process. Please have any of the following documents available
- Drivers Licence/18+ Card;
- Medicare Card;
- Birth Certificate; or
- Passport.
Note: As part of setting up your account, don’t forget to give permission to SLSQ to view your details and transcript (Organisation – Code 2804, Organisation Name – Surf Life Saving Queensland Education).
ONCE YOU HAVE A USI
- Provide a copy of the USI to your club so it can be added to your membership database (please note a USI is specific to the individual not the RTO – as such you only need one).
- When you attend a course for an accredited award you will be provided with a Student Enrolment Form – your USI must be included on this (your accreditation cannot be processed without this).
- The following are the awards that a USI can be accredited towards:
