1 Share of the further education teacher role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the first aid 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

Why this move works

A further education teacher role treats 12 of its required skills as things a first aid instructor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

adapt teaching to target group
adult education
apply teaching strategies
assess students
assessment processes
curriculum objectives

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 17 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A further education teacher role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a first aid instructor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held adapt teaching to target group communication, collaboration and creativity
already held adult education education
already held teamwork principles generic programmes and qualifications
already held assist students with equipment assisting and caring
already held demonstrate when teaching communication, collaboration and creativity
already held perform classroom management management skills

All 17 carried skills, including the 12 the further education teacher role treats as required.

4 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.
