1 Share of the rescue diver role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the construction commercial diver 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 14 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A rescue diver role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a construction commercial diver background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held comply with the planned time for the depth of the dive assisting and caring
already held display warnings around dive site communication, collaboration and creativity
already held dive with scuba equipment communication, collaboration and creativity
already held diving equipment services
already held diving vessels systems services
already held ensure diving operations conform with plan communication, collaboration and creativity

All 14 carried skills, including the 13 the rescue diver 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.
