Student Information

Students wishing to commence training with us will need to complete an Application and Enrolment Form. This Form will be made available by AISIT via an email, alongside other important course details for your consideration, eg. the qualification name, mode of delivery, course duration, Student Handbook with all AISIT terms and conditions, consumer protection information, etc.

As training is delivered to employees of AISIT’s government clients, AISIT receives a list of employee names and email contact details, and uses this list to issue all application and enrolment information and related Forms.

Regardless of whether your employer has referred you to AISIT, it is important that you take the time to read all the information provided from AISIT prior to progressing your enrolment, as you will be responsible for adhering to AISIT’s terms and conditions at all times.

Once you have successfully submitted the relevant enrolment application forms and completed your Pre-Training Review, and only when we confirm your readiness to study your selected course,  we will send you a Confirmation of Enrolment email with some additional instructions, including how to log into AISIT’s student portal.

All full qualification and short accredited course students will undertake an induction to on-line learning as part of their course orientation, where you will learn how to navigate your on-line learning and assessment activities, as well as how to keep your details current.

You will be introduced to your designated trainer and assessor, who will confirm that the Delivery Schedule is appropriate to your needs. If you are a trainee, you will also receive a Training Plan which further outlines your course requirements.

The Student Handbook has important information to support you in your studies. Please always keep a copy in easy access. If you are unclear about any part of your course and/or expectations of you, please contact your trainer and assessor.

Your trainer and assessor will be ‘touching base’ with you at least on a fortnightly basis, which may be face to face, via phone, email or other modes, eg. video conferencing. It is important to make time to meet/respond to any written contact, as this is your opportunity to:

• hear feedback on your course progression
• identify any emerging issues or concerns, as well as
• ask for assistance.

USI stands for Unique Student Identifier. If you wish to study a nationally recognised training course in Australia, you are required to have one. Your USI links to an online account that contains all your training records and results (transcript) that you have completed from 1 January 2015 onwards, so it is a convenient way of accessing all your study records for the purposes of job requirements and career advancements.

More information about USIs and how to create one, or check if you already have one, are available on AISIT’s website. It’s free and easy to create your own USI and will only take a few minutes of your time.

Traineeships consist of a legal and binding Training Agreement (prepared in a Training Contract which all parties sign) between the trainee, their respective employer and AISIT as your training provider.  You will be assigned a workplace supervisor who is responsible for monitoring your progress and working together with you and AISIT to resolve any issues.

The arrangement may be summarised as your employer agreeing to formally train you in a specific role within your sector whilst you are working and being paid. Accordingly, you must agree to enrol into a nationally accredited qualification and to progress and complete it as part of your traineeship.

AISIT’s Student Handbook has a designated section for trainees, which are additional requirements to those expected from any AISIT applicant and enrolled student. Please take the time to read this section carefully. The Student Handbook is available on AISIT’s website.

Another good resource for trainees is the NSW government-issued A Welcome Guide for Apprentices and Trainees, available here.

As the Registered Training Organisation with which you enrolled, AISIT is responsible for issuing your AQF nationally accredited qualification for all accredited qualifications and/or short courses completed. We are committed to operating in accordance with the practices defined by the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) relating to the issuing, recording and reporting of AQF qualifications, Statements of Attainment and related certification.

Dependent on your course of study and whether you successfully completed it and met all AISIT terms and conditions (see below), you will receive one of the following:

• Certificate: Students who successfully complete the full nationally accredited course of study will be awarded the relevant certification.
• Statement of Attainment (SoA): Students who successfully complete units of competency. This includes students who withdrew earlier than the expected course completion date.
• Record of Results: A record of results is issued to all students who have completed a full Certificate. Students who have not been successful in their study of a unit(s) of competency are issued a record of results but not a SoA.
• Certificate of Completion: Where a student has participated in a training session but no assessment was competently completed (despite all further re-assessment attempts) or you completed a non-accredited workshop/course.

Please note, to receive one of the above, in line with AISIT’s  terms and conditions, you must have:

• met all Training Package requirements for all accredited courses
• presented a current and valid USI for all accredited courses, and
• full payment of your fees and charges has been received (which may be through your employer).
