infantry soldiertoartillery officer
A infantry soldier already meets 81% of what the artillery officer role asks for. The move turns on 2 required skills not yet in the profile.
81%
19.4/ 100
1 Share of the artillery officer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the infantry soldier 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 artillery officer role treats 13 of its required skills as things a infantry soldier already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- camouflage
- ensure compliance with types of weapons
- ensure public safety and security
- handle surveillance equipment
- identify security threats
- military combat techniques
What stands in the way is 2 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 22 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A artillery officer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a infantry soldier background worth leading with.
- already held perform covert investigations information skills
- already held operate armoured fighting vehicles working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held camouflage engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held military drill services
- already held perform military operations assisting and caring
- already held military combat techniques services
All 22 carried skills, including the 13 the artillery officer role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 7 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 devise military tactics required
- required, not held lead military troops required
- optional, not held coordinate rescue missions optional
- optional, not held give battle commands optional
- optional, not held train military troops optional
- optional, not held perform search and rescue missions optional
- optional, not held assess danger in risk areas optional

The 2 entries a artillery officer role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
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.
