1 Share of the armoured car guard role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the crowd controller 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 armoured car guard role treats 7 of its required skills as things a crowd controller already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • comply with the principles of self-defence
  • liaise with security authorities
  • manage major incidents
  • manage theft prevention
  • monitor security measures
  • practice vigilance

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 15 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A armoured car guard role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a crowd controller background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held monitor security measures information skills
  • already held develop contingency plans for emergencies management skills
  • already held comply with the principles of self-defence assisting and caring
  • already held deal with aggressive behaviour assisting and caring
  • already held security threats services
  • already held restrain individuals assisting and caring

All 15 carried skills, including the 7 the armoured car guard 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.
