• Identify any competencies previously acquired (Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), Recognition of Current Competency (RCC) or Credit Transfer);
• Assess the student’s Language Literacy and Numeracy (LLN) to determine the student’s learning needs and any additional support required so that the student is in the best possible position to complete their course.
• Ascertain the most appropriate qualification for the student to be enrolled in, including taking into consideration the likely job outcome(s) from the development of their new competencies and skills; and

• Ascertain that the proposed learning strategies and teaching and assessment materials are appropriate for that student.

Unique Student Identifier (USI) Number
All students enrolling nationally recognised training will be required to provide IIFS with a Unique Student Identifier (USI). The USI is linked to the National Vocational Education and Training (VET) Data Collection.
