What is a USI and do I need one?

All students enrolling in nationally recognised training in Australia need to obtain a Unique Student Identifier (USI). A USI is an exclusive 10-digit number consisting of letters and numbers that will be used to link a student’s account to all of their training records. It means an individual’s nationally recognised training and qualifications gained anywhere in Australia, from different training organisations, will be kept all together.

To create your own USI or read more about it to, go to: www.usi.gov.au.

What is the youngest age you can attend a First Aid Course?

There is no minimum age however we would not recommend the course for a child under 14 years old. If the child is under 14 years of age, it would be our recommendation that a responsible adult will be attending with the child.

When will I receive my certificate?

In most cases, your certificate will be issued electronically the same day you complete your training, usually within a few hours.
