ICT network techniciantotelecommunications equipment maintainer
A ICT network technician already meets 29% of what the telecommunications equipment maintainer role asks for. The move turns on 7 required skills not yet in the profile.
29%
61.9/ 100
1 Share of the telecommunications equipment maintainer 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 this move works
A telecommunications equipment maintainer role treats 2 of its required skills as things a ICT network technician already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- ICT network cable limitations
- solder electronics
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 7 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A telecommunications equipment maintainer 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.
- already held ICT network cable limitations information and communication technologies (icts)
- already held install signal repeaters working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held solder electronics constructing
- already held implement a firewall working with computers
- already held implement a virtual private network working with computers
- already held implement ICT security policies working with computers
All 7 carried skills, including the 2 the telecommunications equipment maintainer role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 13 missing skills fall into 4 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.
- required, not held maintain radio communications equipment required
- required, not held operate remote broadcast equipment required
- required, not held operate two-way radio systems required
- required, not held calibrate electronic instruments required
- required, not held install low voltage wiring required
- required, not held repair wiring required
- optional, not held operate audio equipment optional
- optional, not held solve location and navigation problems by using GPS tools optional
- optional, not held use a complex communication system optional
- optional, not held operate radio equipment optional
- required, not held assess telecommunication infrastructure issues required
- optional, not held ICT power consumption optional
- optional, not held meet deadlines optional
Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a telecommunications equipment maintainer role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 assess telecommunication infrastructure issues skill · sector specific
- 02 maintain radio communications equipment skill · sector specific
- 03 operate remote broadcast equipment 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.
