1 Share of the bus driver role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the armoured car driver 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.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 12 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A bus driver role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a armoured car driver background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held keep time accurately information skills
  • already held adhere to transportation work schedule communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held transport topography services
  • already held control the performance of the vehicle working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held ensure vehicle operability working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held interpret traffic signals assisting and caring

All 12 carried skills, including the 12 the bus driver 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.
