1 Share of the control panel tester role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the electrical equipment assembler 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 control panel tester role treats 16 of its required skills as things a electrical equipment assembler already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply coating to electrical equipment
  • electrical equipment regulations
  • electrical wire accessories
  • electrical wiring diagrams
  • electricity
  • electricity principles

What stands in the way is 12 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 28 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A control panel tester role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a electrical equipment assembler background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held switching devices engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held apply coating to electrical equipment constructing
  • already held adjust voltage working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held electrical wire accessories engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held interpret electrical diagrams information skills
  • already held use specialised tools in electric repairs working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 28 carried skills, including the 16 the control panel tester role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 22 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.

6 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.
