1 Share of the curriculum administrator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the education programme coordinator 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 curriculum administrator role treats 12 of its required skills as things a education programme coordinator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • advise on lesson plans
  • advise on teaching methods
  • analyse the training market
  • cooperate with education professionals
  • curriculum standards
  • ensure curriculum adherence

What stands in the way is 2 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 20 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A curriculum administrator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a education programme coordinator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held monitor curriculum implementation information skills
  • already held analyse the training market information skills
  • already held ensure curriculum adherence assisting and caring
  • already held advise on curriculum development communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held develop a pedagogical concept management skills
  • already held inspect education institutions information skills

All 20 carried skills, including the 12 the curriculum administrator role treats as required.

1 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
