Where a train preparer can go next
4 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a train preparer already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.
Train preparers are responsible for checking and testing of equipment and systems on rail vehicles before vehicles are moved. They ensure that a train is in a fit condition to enter service, that the train equipment is correctly deployed and the formation of the train matches the train’s designated pathway. Depending on the individual work organisation of the operator they also perform technical inspections carried out prior to the train entering service.

How these figures were compiled
Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a train preparer already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
