1 Share of the tutor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the lifeguard 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 tutor role treats 9 of its required skills as things a lifeguard instructor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • adapt teaching to student's capabilities
  • apply teaching strategies
  • assess students
  • assessment processes
  • curriculum objectives
  • demonstrate when teaching

What stands in the way is 9 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 10 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A tutor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a lifeguard instructor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held adult education education
  • already held encourage students to acknowledge their achievements management skills
  • already held adapt teaching to student's capabilities communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held demonstrate when teaching communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held assessment processes education
  • already held curriculum objectives education

All 10 carried skills, including the 9 the tutor role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 26 missing skills fall into 6 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.

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.
