72%
36.5/ 100
1 Share of the visual arts teacher role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the fine arts instructor 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 this move works
A visual arts teacher role treats 18 of its required skills as things a fine arts instructor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- adapt teaching to student's capabilities
- apply teaching strategies
- assess students
- assist students in their learning
- assist students with equipment
- create craft prototypes
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 · What you already bring
Of the 40 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A visual arts teacher role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a fine arts instructor background worth leading with.
- already held create sculptures communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held manage different ceramic firing techniques working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held create craft prototypes communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held select subject matter communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held supervise craft production handling and moving

All 40 carried skills, including the 18 the visual arts teacher role treats as required.

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a visual arts teacher role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 contextualise artistic work skill · sector specific
- 02 create artwork skill · sector specific
- 03 select illustration styles skill · sector specific
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
