1 Share of the artillery officer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the bomb disposal technician 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 artillery officer role treats 8 of its required skills as things a bomb disposal technician already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • ensure compliance with types of weapons
  • ensure public safety and security
  • handle surveillance equipment
  • military weaponry
  • operate radio equipment
  • perform military operations

What stands in the way is 7 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 13 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A artillery officer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a bomb disposal technician background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held assess danger in risk areas information skills
  • already held perform military operations assisting and caring
  • already held military weaponry services
  • already held military code services
  • already held surveillance methods engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held ensure compliance with types of weapons assisting and caring

All 13 carried skills, including the 8 the artillery officer 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.
