VET transcripts

An authenticated USI VET transcript collates a student’s training information reported to the National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER) from 1 January 2015.

VET transcripts can be viewed and downloaded by Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) and other eligible providers, such as VET Related Bodies (VRBs), that have been granted permission by the USI account holder.

Being able to view transcripts can help with:

•    enrolments
•    credit transfers
•    entitlement assessments
•    troubleshooting transcript queries.

Providers can only access the Transcript Service via the USI Organisation Portal, not through a Student Management System. Once system access is granted, individuals will need to have a Digital Identity and be authorised through Relationship Authorisation Manager (RAM) to act on behalf of their organisation.

You must get permission from a USI account holder to access their VET Transcript. Find out more about permissions.

RTOs are required to:

• collect and verify USIs at enrolment 
• follow up quickly on any problems with collecting, verifying or creating USIs so contact with students isn’t lost, especially international students studying onshore
• investigate and address any warnings received when submitting AVETMISS data.

For help with this process, please contact us on 1300 857 536

Questions about AVETMISS reporting requirements or AVS or the USI Transcript Update Tool should be directed to NCVER.

Sharing a VET transcript with a third party, such as an employer or licencing body, is a convenient and secure way to prove qualifications and demonstrate pre-requisites for further training. USI account holders can share a full copy of their VET transcript or select exactly which training to display by using the extract functionality.

The VET transcript includes a clickable link and a QR code for accessing the online record from either an electronic or hard copy. When using the QR code, the name and document number will populate automatically to ensure accessing the record is quick and easy for third parties.
