1 Share of the aircraft interior technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the motor vehicle upholsterer 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 aircraft interior technician role treats 13 of its required skills as things a motor vehicle upholsterer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • align components
  • apply health and safety standards
  • apply preliminary treatment to workpieces
  • fasten components
  • measure parts of manufactured products
  • quality standards

What stands in the way is 1 required skill 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 27 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A aircraft interior technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a motor vehicle upholsterer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held manufacture fabric furnishings handling and moving
  • already held install floor coverings constructing
  • already held install wall coverings constructing
  • already held upholster transport equipment's interior pieces handling and moving
  • already held install transport vehicle interior components handling and moving
  • already held upholstery tools engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 27 carried skills, including the 13 the aircraft interior technician 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.
