My assessment letter says "Your ICT skilled employment experience has been calculated as follows on the basis of full time employment of at least

Please suggest.

Hi I also got the same response...I think this is the template they use.... 20 hours a week is the minimum for any working professional....

You are right Shubo.. my letter needed few corrections so I mailed my CO and got the updated letter in 20 minutes.

Was your 20hrs changed to 35 or 40 hrs?

This is the exact doubt , with which I am confused from today morning. Actually it should be 35 hours . I got my assessment with 35 hrs and lot of my friends also.
But in my spouse case today morning , we received the PDF with the proper number of years of experience , but 20 hrs written.

But they have mentioned full time, whereas i think if it was taken as part time , then the number years of experience should have been halved.

I am planning to send a mail to CO , requesting her to explain.

Still expecting some body in the forum to clear this doubt.

Thanks and regards

Mine is exactly the same

Your ICT skilled employment experience has been calculated as follows on the basis of full time
employment of at least 20hrs per week

BUT the important thing it says here is AT LEAST 20 hours. Also the number of years experience attached to each job is correct and calculated at full time basis... so I think it should be ok.

But if you do mail them then let us all know what their reply is. Hopefully they will reply quickly.

thanks.

My letter came from generic mail id->assessment@acs.org.au with signature of
Ruth Graham, General Manager, Professional Standards, Learning & Development.

Is (s)he my CO? But since I don't have his/her mail id Should I send mail to assessment@acs.org.au only?

Friends,

I had the same issue, so asked my CO and got this response:

20 hours is a Department of Immigration and Citizenship requirement for counting work experience.

Hope it clarifies :-)
