What is a USI Number?

The USI is a reference number made up of ten numbers and letters that:

• creates a secure online record of your recognised training and qualifications gained in Australia, from all training providers you undertake recognised training with
• will give you access to your training records and transcripts
• can be accessed online, anytime and anywhere
• is free and easy to create and
• stays with you for life

USI Portal Confirmation Issue Solutions

If you are a CBD College student and you have encountered an email pertaining to a USI problem, please consult the troubleshooting guide below

USI Issue: If we have been unable to issue your certificate today it may be for one of the following reasons - you have either not completed the online learning, the post-enrolment government ‘AVETMISS’ questions or entered a valid Unique Student Identifier (USI) number.

Solution: go back to your student portal (login details were in your confirmation email sent on enrolment) and edit your details, complete all AVETMISS questions and enter a valid USI and then complete your online learning (if you have not already done so).

If you do not have a USI, you need to go to the government portal (www.usi.gov.au) and create one. Then enter your USI number into the USI field in your student portal.

Ensure that your name in the CBD College student portal is exactly the same name as the one you used to create the USI. This name will be your formal name as per your passport or photo ID.

Ensure the DOB etc that you entered when you created the USI is the same DOB etc as in your student portal.

Forgotten how to enter the student portal? See your confirmation email sent on the day you enrolled (sender was donotreply@cbdcollege.edu.au - check spam if you cannot find it).

N.B. AVETMISS questions and USI are both government initiatives. RTOs have to collect this information by law, from Jan 1, 2018.
