Learner Enrolment Guide

KEY CONTACTS

MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS after joining a Club to enrol in any course are:

• Working With Children Check (Blue Card) (18+ years only) 

• Unique Student Identifier (USI) number. A USI is an individual education number that's assigned to you for life by the Australian Government. It's free and will take about 5 minutes to complete the process - you will need at least one form of valid identification. For current high-school students you will also need your Learner Unique Identifier (LUI) if relevant for QCE points.
