34%
61.1/ 100
1 Share of the life coach role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the assessor of prior learning 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 this move works
A life coach role treats 3 of its required skills as things a assessor of prior learning already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- coach clients
- create solutions to problems
- listen actively
What stands in the way is 9 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 11 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A life coach role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a assessor of prior learning background worth leading with.
- already held facilitate job market access communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held coach clients communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held identify training needs management skills
- already held provide career counselling communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held maintain professional administration management skills
- already held give constructive feedback communication, collaboration and creativity
All 11 carried skills, including the 3 the life coach role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 16 missing skills fall into 5 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.
- required, not held assist clients with personal development required
- required, not held maintain relationship with customers required
- required, not held communicate with customers required

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a life coach role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 assist clients with personal development skill · sector specific
- 02 give advice on personal matters skill · sector specific
- 03 maintain relationship with customers skill · sector specific
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
