International students who hold a valid ‘Student Visa’ can enrol into this course without any interuption to their approved course of study or approved work limits. This doe not apply to all courses offered by Height Safety Engineers so please check the conditions for each course prior to enrolling.

Other International visitors who hold a Working Holiday Visa may be eligible to enrol into our courses once they arrive in Australia.

International visitors will still be required to provide a valid USI (Unique Student Identifier) prior to enrolling into any Nationally Recognised Training. When registering for your USI number if you select Non-Australian Passport (with Australian Visa) as your form of ID, you will need to enter your Non-Australian passport number when creating your USI.

Students from New Zealand will not be able to create a USI using their New Zealand passport until your passport has been registered with the Australian Department of Immigration. This will only happen when the student crosses the border into Australia. Once the passport is registered with the Department of Immigration it can be verified and the student will be able to create a USI using their New Zealand passport.

If you are an International Visitor, you will need to provide a copy of your Visa and/or Passport by emailing training@heightsafety.net.
