We are now working with international students who require a certificate to be issued. They are exempt from requiring a USI. Currently aXcelerate will not allow you to issue a certificate without a verified USI.

Below is a solution suggested by aXcelerate to allow you the issue certificates to international students. It requires editing the RTO/VET settings.

Automatic Exemption from USI solution

In order to bypass aXcelerate's USI security features and issue certificates for these clients we have to edit the RTO/VET Settings, issue the certificate and then change the settings back. During this time there is the risk (albeit low risk) of someone issuing a certificate for a domestic student that does not have a USI.

NCVER Requirements for International students

International students who are exempt from needing a USI. When they are reported to NCVER, they use the following criteria to determine their USI exemption:
•State field is OVS
•Postcode field is OSPC
•Funding Source (National) is International full-fee paying client

 Request for improvement

Would it be possible for aXcelerate to identify that a client has met the above 3 criteria and if so, allow their certificate to be issued without having a USI?

    The ability to record a USI exemption for international students studying offshore (INTOFF) is now available in aXcelerate. Currently, exemption codes must be applied manually against a contact record.

    We are also in this situation and it looks like we will be expanding further.

    We really need this facility as it will substantially assist us in getting these certificates out to students.

    Agreed. Changing the settings probably isn't a valid solution. It would mean that we would have to give our administration team permissions to change the system settings.

    Hi All, thanks for the feedback/idea. As the INTOFF (international offshore) USI exemption code is being introduced for AVETMISS 8.0, we may be able to use the implementation of this code to solve this issue (keep an eye out on the release notes for any updates).

    I made this same suggestion a few months back in another post; It is definitely something that we need:

    Jade, are you able to merge similar suggestions in this forum?

    Hi Mark, thank you for reminding me of this post. It isn't possible to merge posts, however, I have added an "Official comment" suggesting that all future comments/voting occur on the other post.
