Australian Early Childhood College Enrolment Process
From the first of January 2015 all students participating in Vocational Education and Training (VET) qualifications are required to have a Unique Student Identifier (USI). We are required by Commonwealth legislation to have this number recorded for your training and cannot enrol new students without this number. If you do not have a USI you can find more information on obtaining one here. Your USI is used to report your Training Activity Data to the Department.
