1 Share of the ICT network administrator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the ICT network technician 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 ICT network administrator role treats 18 of its required skills as things a ICT network technician already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • ICT network routing
  • ICT network security risks
  • ICT security legislation
  • ICT system programming
  • adjust ICT system capacity
  • analyse network bandwidth requirements

What stands in the way is 16 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 25 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A ICT network administrator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a ICT network technician background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held adjust ICT system capacity working with computers
  • already held maintain internet protocol configuration working with computers
  • already held install signal repeaters working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held analyse network bandwidth requirements working with computers
  • already held implement ICT network diagnostic tools working with computers
  • already held Apache Tomcat information and communication technologies (icts)

All 25 carried skills, including the 18 the ICT network administrator role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 73 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.

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.
