Unique Student Identifier (USI)
From 1 January 2015, USI is mandatory for issuing a nationally recognised VET qualification or statement of attainment on completion of a course. In addition, we are required to include your USI in the data we submit to National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER) as a part of annual mandatory reporting. So please keep your USI ready at the time of filling out the enrolment form for any of our accredited courses.
If you have not obtained a USI yet, please click here to apply online. It is important that you try to find out whether you already have a USI before attempting to create a new one. To check if you already have a USI, click here and use the ‘Forgotten USI’.
Course delivery
The training sessions of these courses are delivered face-to-face in the following four formats and the academic support sessions online:
Public course-Sydney: LGP office, Sydney CBD with the option for participants to attend it (fully/partially) remotely via Zoom.
Regional NSW- Through Joint Organisations (JOs): This is based on demand and subject to getting the minimum required numbers.
Public course- Other Metro Cities across Australia: This is based on demand and subject to getting the minimum required numbers.
Onsite at clients’ venue: Can be delivered at clients’ premises on demand if they have ten or more (max. 20) learners.
PS: These courses will proceed as planned subject to getting the minimum required numbers. In the event the course delivery becomes financially unviable at any stage, we may have to cancel it. However, we will work with the students to come up with suitable arrangements to protect their interests. Please note that this disclaimer is only in place in case of unforeseen financial difficulties, and we will do our best to avoid such situations.
Option to attend a course via Zoom
Our regional and rural clients can use Zoom, the online platform that allows people from any geographic location, the opportunity to remotely attend (fully/partially) the courses which are conducted at our office in Sydney.
This app is very lightweight on Internet and requires only a computing device with audio and video options. The multimedia options facilitate interactions with the trainer, view trainer’s presentations, ask questions, take part in the discussions, and get access to the other training resources. These happen seamlessly in a real-time environment, giving a physical classroom experience. For the participants, this results in not only substantial reduction in the overall training cost since there are no travel and accommodation expenses, it also minimises time spent away from home.

Course delivery format
