Unique Student Identifier

As of 1 January 2015, every student studying in Australia must have a Unique Student Identifier (USI). Your USI will remain with you for life and will collate information on your VET achievements regardless of where you study. Students can create a USI by logging onto www.usi.gov.au, prior to attending training or they may authorise Djaringo to create a USI on their behalf.

USI Fact Sheet

Literacy and Numeracy

Djaringo is committed to assisting students with differing learning abilities to succeed.

Students’ individual needs will be assessed at enrolment via a language, literacy and numeracy assessment. Requirements such as alternative formats, adaptive technology and adjustments for other disabilities will be identified and provided where practicable.

Should you require any special assistance such as literacy or numeracy help, disability access or other physical or learning needs, please inform your trainer, or the RTO administration staff.

Some training courses demand a high level of literacy and numeracy to successfully complete. Please discuss any concerns about the levels required for specific training programs and work projects.

Djaringo treats all personal records of clients confidentially and in accordance with the Privacy Act. As a Registered Training Organisation we must collect and report certain information to the national VET regulator, Department of Training and Workforce Development and other government agencies.
