The USI scheme has been developed to assist all students attending Nationally Recognised Training to have the ability to access their training achievements in one location. This will save you from having to carry a portfolio of certificates around with you in the future. Since 1 January 2016 any Qualifications or Units of Competency you achieve will be available when you login. You will be able to access transcripts and provide them to prospective employers or to training organisations to recognise the achievements you hold.
If you are enrolling in or completing a course that is Nationally Recognised you must provide the Training Organisation your USI number to receive a certificate.
A Unique Student Identifier (USI) is a reference number made up of 10 digits which could be numbers and letters that give you access to your own training records. You will have one USI number for your lifetime. You can create and manage your USI details at www.usi.gov.au
Part 5 of the Student Identifiers Act 2014 states that Registered Training Organisations must not issue certificates if a USI number is not provided by the student.
A USI is effectively a reference number allocated to each student. When students attend training they will need to provide it to their Training Organisation which will allow for their records to be updated in one location. This will also assist Training Organisations in checking pre-requisites as well as completing Credit Transfers and Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).
Currently, it is not mandatory to hold formal qualifications as a groomer. However, obtaining a certificate qualification gives you a competitive edge. A certificate from Heiniger Academy demonstrates your commitment to professionalism and is backed by an industry-leading company in a highly competitive and in-demand market.

From the moment you walk in they make you feel like your dog is the most important which was brilliant. Indie looked and smelled amazing when she was done. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Will be the only groomers I take indie to from now on. Great job. 🥇

Desperately needed to get two elderly small dogs groomed and washed as their, also elderly, Mum had been hospitalised and they obviously has not been groomed or washed in quite a while. After trying absolutely everywhere, we were so lucky to get an appt at WA Dog Grooming & Clipping Academy. The dogs now look amazing and the people were so kind. Such a great job. Everyone’s happy.👏

My small dog was initially a reactive nipper, but they treated him wonderfully and now is fine for his grooms! They had a trainee and offered to groom my Labrador for a reduced rate, he now looks so fluffy!
Work well with older dogs too. Before our golden retriever passed we had him groomed and they accommodated for his bad hips. He was much more comfortable with his groomed coat during his final year.

I took my brother’s dog to be groomed and they managed to squeeze him in for the next day which was amazing! They were so understanding and did such an amazing and thorough job! Would highly recommend to absolutely everyone. I will definitely be back!
Thank you so much🫶🏻🐶🐾

My best friend, Ivy, recently had a wonderful pampering experience at W.A. Dog Grooming & Clipping Academy. Despite being a vocal and anxious 13-year-old Siberian Husky, she surprisingly allowed them to clip her overgrown toes! The staff were so gentle and caring with my little old girl, and when she left, she smelled absolutely delightful. I can’t recommend this place enough for anyone with a Husky like mine. They truly understand how to handle our furry friends with love and compassion.

Have been going here for years and both the previous owners and the new owners have always taken care of my Pug Bruno. They are able to brush out his second coat so he sheds less and they are able to do his nails. They have a harness that helps keep him comfortable when they are doing his nails, pug people will understand! Always a 5 star service and would recommend to anyone with a pug or anyone who loves their dog!
