To enrol and secure your place as an apprentice or trainee, complete all steps in this enrolment guide.
It can take some time to complete all enrolment steps. We recommend you start your enrolment as soon as possible.
To enrol, please use a desktop or laptop computer, and enable pop-ups in your browser settings.
You need to complete the following steps before you can enrol.
All students commencing a vocational education program must complete the LLN, an online English and maths assessment.
You must complete the LLN before you can enrol.
If you’ve already completed the RMIT LLN assessment, you don’t need to complete it again. You can continue to Step 2. Collect your documents and information.
It will take about 45 minutes to complete each assessment.
Access the reference guide for the LLN (PDF, 653KB)
It will take up to 48 hours for your results to be registered with RMIT. You'll be contacted via email or receive a phone call if we need to clarify any information.
You must have the following documents and information to successfully enrol.
You will need your current Australian/New Zealand passport (preferred), Australian citizenship certificate, birth certificate or other approved documentation to verify your citizenship. You'll need the same documents to prove your eligibility for a government subsidised place (see How to enrol Part 2, Step 3)
IMPORTANT: If you used a different name to apply to RMIT, i.e. not your full legal name as it appears on your document, you’ll have the chance to update it when you log in to Enrolment Online.
If your names don't match, you won't be able to enrol.
Find out how to update your legal name and preferred name options.
You’ll use your student ID, RMIT email address and temporary password to access Enrolment Online (RMIT’s enrolment system) and other RMIT systems.
Your Student ID (also referred to as your RMIT ID) is the letter 's' followed by your student number (excluding any additional letters).
Example: s1234567
Your student number is in your offer email from RMIT.
Your RMIT email address is the letter 's' followed by your student number (excluding any additional letters) and ‘@student.rmit.edu.au’.
Example: s1234567@student.rmit.edu.au
Your student number is in your offer email from RMIT.
You may need to access your email to complete the enrolment process. Find out how to access and use your RMIT email.
New students: Your temporary password is the letter 'p' followed by your date of birth backwards, with an exclamation mark '!' at the end.
Example: If your date of birth is 8 April 1998, then your password is p19980408!
Returning students: Your password is the last password you set while studying at RMIT. We recommend resetting your password if you don't remember it.
Find out more about your login details, password and accessing RMIT systems.
MFA requires a user to provide two factors of verification:
If you’re enrolling in a Certificate I–IV program, you can use your current Commonwealth Health Care Card, Pensioner Card or Veteran’s Gold Card to apply for a VE fee concession.
You'll need your transcripts if you want to apply for credit.
Give yourself plenty of time to get the documents you need - if you’re applying for a passport or concession card, it can take some weeks to arrive.
The USI is a reference number that will give you access to an online record of all of your recognised training and qualifications.
It’s a government requirement that you have a USI to enrol in a vocational education program.
You’ll need ID such as a current passport, full birth certificate or driver’s license. You must use the same ID when you verify your citizenship and identity.
You must use your full legal name to create a USI. Make a note of your USI because you’ll need to provide it when you enrol.
Note: your name must match the order and placement of your full legal name recorded at RMIT. If there’s a discrepancy between your recorded name in the USI Registry and our systems, you won’t be able to verify your USI and enrol.
Follow these steps in Enrolment Online before attending your enrolment session (if you have one scheduled).
Some steps may require a response from RMIT, but you can 'Save for later' and finish enrolling when ready to continue.
Log in to Enrolment Online using your RMIT email address, temporary password and MFA (see Part 1, Step 2, b. and c. above).
Your pre-training review allows RMIT to determine whether:
These questions are straightforward - they relate to your previous education, career goals, access to technology and any special needs that you may have.
You may need to wait until a staff member has reviewed this information before being able to enrol in classes. In some cases, an RMIT staff member may call you to discuss your reasons for undertaking the program to ensure this is the most suitable and appropriate program for you.
Typically, documents are assessed within 48 hours from when they are submitted. Please allow sufficient time when submitting your documents.
If you've been offered a government subsidised place in your program (as stated in your offer email), you must complete the evidence of student eligibility declaration.
You'll be asked to:
Wait while RMIT assesses your eligibility. We may call you to ask you some questions. Typically, documents are assessed within 48 hours from when they are submitted.
You'll get an email as soon as your documents have been assessed.
Log back in to Enrolment Online to accept your assessment outcome.
If assessed as eligible, you're now in a government subsidised place (GSP) which has a discounted fee rate.
Use the RMIT fee finder to get an estimate of your fees.
After speaking with your employer, you may want to apply for a sponsorship. This means that your employer will pay the remainder of your fees. See Step 4a. for more information.
The Australian Government provides Australian Apprenticeship Support Loans to eligible apprentices to assist with everyday costs while you complete your apprenticeship.
Find out if you're eligible for an Australian Apprenticeship Support Loan.
This can mean an 80% discount on your tuition fees!
Fees for government subsidised places are subsidised by the Victorian Government, with the remainder payable by you or your employer.
After speaking with your employer you may wish to apply for a sponsorship, which means they will pay the remainder of your fees. Refer to the terms and conditions below.
You're ineligible for sponsorship if you have any outstanding fees.
You must apply when you first enrol, or immediately after enrolment.
You must then re-apply each year during the enrolment period.
Student Sponsors

You and your employer must each retain a copy of your completed signed application.
If you don't complete and submit your application by the deadline specified in Enrolment Online, you will be responsible for all fees and charges.
Applications that are fully and accurately completed are normally processed within 5 working days.
If RMIT approves your application, we will send your employer a tax invoice outlining fees and charges to be paid via their nominated mailing or email address.
All fees and charges must be paid by the due date stated on the invoice. Any delay in payment of these charges may result in a late payment fee being charged and the student’s enrolment may be cancelled.
RMIT will contact you and your employer if your application is not approved.
To become and remain a sponsored student you must be an apprentice or trainee and provide a signed Apprentice/trainee sponsorship application each calendar year.
If you do not submit a completed Apprentice/trainee sponsorship application by the due date of the first tax invoice you will, as an enrolled student, be liable for fees incurred.
In the event that your sponsor’s application is not accepted, you will remain enrolled and will continue to be personally responsible for any fees and charges.
An agreed sponsor will be liable for the debt incurred for the new sponsorship period indicated on the Apprentice/trainee sponsorship application. A new signed Apprentice/trainee sponsorship application must be completed each calendar year.
All fees and charges must be paid by the sponsor by the original due date stated on the tax invoice. Any delay in payment of these charges may result in the imposition of a late payment fee.
Having signed the Apprentice/trainee sponsorship application, a company shall remain liable for fees invoiced by RMIT for that enrolment, even if:
On receipt of a completed Apprentice/trainee sponsorship application, RMIT maintains the right to perform any appropriate data validation and credit worthiness checks prior to accepting the application of sponsorship.
RMIT reserves the right to make a decision on the application of any company wishing to become a sponsor based on information provided via the above processes.
Where a sponsorship application is not accepted, the student will remain enrolled and be advised that they continue to be personally responsible for any charges.
Advice will be provided to apprentices and trainees and employers regarding the terms and conditions for sponsored students.
