1 Share of the automotive battery technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the automotive electrician 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 automotive battery technician role treats 16 of its required skills as things a automotive electrician already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply health and safety standards
  • battery chemistry
  • battery components
  • battery fluids
  • energy storage systems
  • install automotive electrical equipment

What stands in the way is 8 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 21 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A automotive battery technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a automotive electrician background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held repair vehicle's electrical equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held inspect for faults in the vehicle's electric system information skills
  • already held install transport equipment batteries working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held energy storage systems engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held repair vehicle electrical systems working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held install automotive electrical equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 21 carried skills, including the 16 the automotive battery technician role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 17 missing skills fall into 8 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.

6 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.
