1 Share of the cider master role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the brewmaster 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 31 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A cider master role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a brewmaster background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held manage time in food processing operations management skills
already held mashing process engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held monitor fermentation information skills
already held ensure cost efficiency in food manufacturing management skills
already held manage food manufacturing laboratory management skills
already held assist in the development of standard operating procedures in the food chain management skills

All 31 carried skills, including the 17 the cider master role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 25 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.

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.
