1 Share of the occupational railway instructor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the flight 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 occupational railway instructor role treats 11 of its required skills as things a flight instructor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • adapt teaching to student's capabilities
  • adapt training to labour market
  • apply intercultural teaching strategies
  • apply teaching strategies
  • assess students
  • assist students in their learning

What stands in the way is 8 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 16 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A occupational railway instructor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a flight instructor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held adapt training to labour market information skills
  • already held adapt teaching to student's capabilities communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held monitor developments in field of expertise information skills
  • already held apply intercultural teaching strategies communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held facilitate teamwork between students management skills
  • already held perform classroom management management skills

All 16 carried skills, including the 11 the occupational railway instructor role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 24 missing skills fall into 9 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.

Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

13 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.
