1 Share of the motor vehicle engine inspector role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the motor vehicle assembler 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.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 24 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A motor vehicle engine inspector role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a motor vehicle assembler background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held supervise motor vehicles manufacture information skills
already held use automotive diagnostic equipment constructing

already held evaluate engine performance information skills
already held re-assemble engines working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held disassemble engines working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 24 carried skills, including the 18 the motor vehicle engine inspector role treats as required.

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.
