ACS Network Security -- Rejection ???

[nrupaks]

Hi Friends!

I have applied for skill assessment on 2 June 2009, under Network Security ASCO Code(2231-79).

Also I have attached whole of my work profile relating to Network Security.

I have got their reply stating that I am unsuitable.

Below is their reply.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I refer to your application for a pre-migration skills assessment, which was received by the Australian Computer Society on 2 June 2009.

You have been assessed as meeting the qualification requirements for Group B of the ACS PIM 2,but do not satisfy requirements for relevant professional information technology experience of 6 years.

Your work experience has been calculated as follows:

Appeals received after this date will not be accepted.

What do you suggest I shall do?

I feel that rather then considering me in 4 years experience category, they have considered me for 6 years experience category.

Can this be considered as their mistake & can a clarification can happen?

Request you all to provide your valuable feedback.

With Regards,

I have done Diploma in Computer Science.

Can you please help me out finding where do they have specified this thing.

As I had an impression that they require 4 years of experience if I have a skill in demand.

If they are sticking to the 6 years experience, you only have 6 months to go to get that 6 years.
