1 Share of the army captain role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the armed forces training and education officer profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Why

Why this move works

A army captain role treats 9 of its required skills as things a armed forces training and education officer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • advise superiors on military operations
  • devise military tactics
  • manage troop deployment
  • military code
  • military combat techniques
  • military drill

What stands in the way is 3 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 23 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A army captain role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a armed forces training and education officer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held supervise the maintenance of military equipment management skills

  • already held advise superiors on military operations communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held monitor military equipment use information skills
  • already held coordinate humanitarian aid missions communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held train military troops communication, collaboration and creativity

All 23 carried skills, including the 9 the army captain role treats as required.

Note

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
