  • Share Your USI VET Transcript

    Your USI VET transcript shows nationally recognised vocational education and training (VET) reported since 2015. It is an Australian Government service that can help you prove your qualifications to employers or education providers.

    Note: It does not replace certificates or statements of attainment issued by your training provider entirley. Some orgnizations with stricter requirments may want to verify with the actual certificates instead.

    Download or share it

    1. Sign in through the USI Student Portal.
    2. Open View VET Transcript, read the disclaimer and select Next.
    3. Select the training records to include. Choose all records for a full transcript or specific records for an extract.
    4. Select Download Transcript.
    5. When asked whether to create a viewable online VET transcript, select Yes if you want to share an authenticated online version. Choose an access period between one week and six months, then follow the prompts to confirm.
    6. Download and save the PDF. If you created the online version, use the link or QR code in the document to let the intended recipient access the authenticated transcript.

    Important notes:

    • If you choose not to create a viewable online transcript, the PDF will not include the authenticated link or QR code.
    • Online access expires after the period you select, and you can cancel access earlier.
    • The transcript may not include every qualification, particularly if training has not yet been reported or was completed before 2015. Check the record carefully and contact your training provider about missing information.
    • Your transcript contains personal information, so share it only with the intended recipient.
