Step 1. Speak to your VET Coordinator or Career Practitioner

​

Speak with your VET Coordinator or Career Practitioner to determine if VET is the most suitable pathway for your educational and career goals. Discuss how it fits with your senior secondary certificate, whether you will require work placement, how the qualifications will be recognised, and if it will impact your ATAR should you need one.

​

Step 2. Apply for a USI (Unique Student Identifier)

​

A USI is a unique reference just for you! All students undertaking nationally recognised training need one. Your USI is linked to the National Vocational Education and Training (VET) Data Collection which means that any recognised training you do now, or in your future will be recorded and kept altogether regardless of which RTO provides you the training. Creating a USI is free and you can easily apply online at www.usi.gov.au. You will not be able to complete Step 3 until you have your USI. See your VET Coordinator if you have difficulty.

​

Step 3. Complete the online VET Cluster enrolment form

​

Your school's VET Coordinator will email you the link if you are offered a space in your chosen VET program. Please note, priority placement procedures may apply, and if a course reaches capacity, you may be placed on a waiting list. The online form will ask you a series of questions that allow for basic enrolment. Please ensure to have your USI and a parent/guardian who will need to provide consent.

Note: Priority procedures are in place to ensure the efficient operation of the cluster. These procedures determine the sequence in which students secure places in VET courses, as determined by the VET Cluster Governance Group comprising regional Government School Principals. For instance, students enrolling for their second year are given priority access initially. Please be aware that late applications do not qualify for priority placement. You must complete your online application form within the 7 days or your spot will be reallocated. 

 

Step 4. Engage with your RTO

​

After completing your VET Cluster Enrolment, your details will be forwarded to the RTO responsible for your training. You'll need to complete additional enrolment forms and provide information to them. Rest assured; your information is protected by law. For more details, refer to the privacy statement from WSMLLEN (VET Cluster Coordinators) at www.llen.com.au. Your RTO will also inform you about privacy protection during formal enrolment.

 

If you have questions or need support to enrol, you should contact your schools VET Coordinator or Career Practitioner in the first instance. WSMLLEN can offer general information regarding process but is unable to speak to individual student enrolment or provide career guidance.
