1 Share of the lieutenant 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 lieutenant role treats 11 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
  • instruct in military duties
  • lead military troops
  • maintain operational communications
  • military code
  • military combat techniques

What stands in the way is 2 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 17 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A lieutenant 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 instruct in military duties communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held advise superiors on military operations communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held train military troops communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held give battle commands communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held lead military troops management skills
  • already held military drill services

All 17 carried skills, including the 11 the lieutenant role treats as required.

Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

2 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
