29.5/ 100
1 Share of the protective clothing apparel manufacturer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the dressmaker 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.

- already held manufacture wearing apparel products handling and moving
- already held standard sizing systems for clothing engineering, manufacturing and construction

- required, not held inspect wearing apparel products required
- optional, not held conduct textile testing operations optional
- required, not held sew protective workwear required

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.
