HOW TO ENROL

Get Ready to Enrol

Now that you have decided which course you would like to study at HIVE, you need to complete an application form.

Before you start your enrolment, make sure you have your USI number and documentation to complete the form.

How to Enrol

Click on ‘Apply Now’ on your chosen course page. Complete the form and submit.

You will receive a confirmation email with a pdf attachment of your enrolment form. One of HIVE’s Enrolment Officers will be in touch with you as soon as possible.

During your phone consultation, our Enrolment Officer will discuss your application and will conduct a pre-training review (PTR), as well as be available to answer any questions you may have.

This PTR is used to determine your competency levels and assist us with tailoring your training plan. The review also helps to identify skills recognition and credit transfers when applying for a vocational education course.

Upon completion of your PTR, you will receive an email from your Enrolment Officer outlining any further requirements and important information pertaining to your enrolment with HIVE.

You may be required to complete a Language, Literacy, and Numeracy Assessment. If this is the case, you will receive an email which will contain a link to the assessment.

This LLN Assessment will take you approximately 45 – 60 minutes to complete. Set aside the time to complete the assessment in one sitting, with no distractions, and complete it in a quiet environment.

Once we receive the successful completion of your LLN, you will receive, via ‘DocuSign’ any documents that require your acknowledgment and signature.

Upon completing all of the above steps, your enrolment will progress to our Learner Services department, who will finalise your enrolment and send you your login credentials and training plan.

Unique Student Identifier (USI)

All learners wishing to enrol in any qualification within Australia are required to register for and obtain a Unique Student Identifier number (USI). If you do not currently hold a USI, you will be required to create one via this link before continuing any further with your Enrolment Form; this registration process should take no longer than 5 minutes.

Once you have created your USI, you will then be able to continue the enrolment process and enter your USI where requested in the form. Please ensure that you add HIVE – Hampton Institute of Vocational Education (RTO #22341) as an organization to your USI profile via the 'Provide my USI’ link so that we can review and issue your transcript.
