Before you apply
You’ll need a Unique Student Identifier (USI) to enrol. If you don’t have one, you can create one free at usi.gov.au. It only takes a few minutes.
If you think you may already have some of the skills covered in your course, you may be able to get Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) or credit transfer. Let us know before your course starts.
If you need any adjustments, or help with reading, writing, maths or using computers, let us know before your first session so we can have support ready.
