An essential mechanism for the regulation of vocational education and training (VET) is the national standards against which applicants/RTOs are assessed. Prior to the establishment of the national VET regulator, ASQA, the standards that applied to an RTO’s or applicant’s registration were found within the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF).

USI The new initiative, known as the Unique Student Identifier or USI , was to be implemented from 1 January 2014, and will serve as a building block for a range of VET reforms by providing accurate and comprehensive information about students’ training achievements and movements within the VET system. Students, training organisations, employers, and governments will all benefit from the USI in some way.

The USI is a component of the VET Reform Agenda and will assist the continued development of transparency in the VET sector. It will build a consistent, national system for the storage of training information and will assist in quality assurance and future growth.
