41.7/ 100

1 Share of the ice-skating coach role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the golf 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 ice-skating coach role treats 8 of its required skills as things a golf instructor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • adapt teaching to student's capabilities
  • adapt teaching to target group
  • apply risk management in sports
  • assess performance in sport events
  • develop sports programmes
  • instruct in sport

What stands in the way is 4 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 13 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A ice-skating coach role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a golf instructor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held exercise sports communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held sports ethics arts and humanities
  • already held develop sports programmes management skills
  • already held assess performance in sport events management skills
  • already held sport games rules services
  • already held personalise sports programme management skills

All 13 carried skills, including the 8 the ice-skating coach role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

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

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.
