There is no obligation when you are simply initiating enquiries or registering your interest.
We are always trying to cater for our clients by adding courses, altering dates, or organising alternate venues to help accommodate your requirements. It’s quite common. Talk to us.
No problem. Best thing is to speak to our Training Coordinators. They are used to helping out with dates, locations, group enrolments, etc.
No, it’s all good. Feel free to discuss your options with us over the phone – whatever is easiest for you. Either way, we will assist you as much as we can.
Yes, but we do have some minimum venue requirements to deliver the courses. So let’s talk it through. We do this quite often for removalists, councils, building and infrastructure companies, and trade groups.
No problem, we’re here to help. We have years’ of experience helping people with courses from enrolment through to certification. Call us to discuss.
Yes, we can sort the details out as we go and at least reserve your place in an upcoming course. As long as we get all your details before you start the actual course, we are good to go. Our training coordinators are here to help you through the process.
Unique Student Identifier (USI) numbers
Yes, a USI number is required for accredited Vocational Education Training in Australia.
Please click the link above to either:
- Get your USI for the first time.
- Find your USI if you have forgotten it.
- Reset your password.
- Update your details.
- Check out the VET courses you have done since 2015 via your on-line transcript.
- Login to your student portal.
Click the link above and follow the prompts. You will need two forms of ID like a driver’s license, Medicare card or Australian Passport.
A Unique Student Identifier (USI) is a reference number made up of numbers and letters, unique to each student. A USI Number will stay with you for life, and must be recorded with any nationally recognised VET course you undertake.
This USI allows your completed courses to be linked to your previous and future VET qualifications into a single authenticated transcript, through the National Vocational Education and Training Data Collection.
It therefore prevents you or your employer from losing your training records and allow you to see all of your training results, from all previous training providers, since 2015.
No, there are two courses that we offer that do not require a USI number to register. They include:
- The Working with Asbestos Course – designed for maintenance personnel and tradespeople working with non-friable (bonded) asbestos under 10m2 or working within the vicinity of asbestos (whether friable or non-friable).
- The Asbestos Compliance Course – designed to address the responsibilities of owners/managers or their responsible officers (e.g. PCBU’s and/or their delegates).
These courses are tailored courses for anyone who is not intending to work for a licensed asbestos removalist but requires some minimum training to comply and gain the knowledge required to minimise the likelihood of asbestos exposure in the workplace.
A USI is available for those working within Australia, including those with working visas, and people with New Zealand origins.
New Zealand citizens cannot create a USI using their New Zealand passports until they have arrived in Australia and their passport has been registered with the Australian Department of Immigration.
Need refresher training?
In Victoria, for example, refresher training is required every year for friable removalists and every two years for non-friable removalists.
Irrespective of where you are in Australia, all training is required to be reviewed periodically to ensure it is “suitable and adequate” for the workforce, the built environment, and associated worker activities. This considers the risk of a person working on or in the vicinity of asbestos containing material, often infrequently with varying site scenarios, where skillsets and appropriate training needs to be maintained to minimise the potential of asbestos exposures.

Training is the most
fundamental component
in minimising the health risks
from exposure to Asbestos.
