1 Share of the occupational driving instructor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the moving truck driver 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 occupational driving instructor role treats 6 of its required skills as things a moving truck driver already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • ensure vehicle operability
  • health and safety measures in transportation
  • interpret traffic signals
  • mechanical components of vehicles
  • perform defensive driving
  • road traffic laws

What stands in the way is 14 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 9 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A occupational driving instructor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a moving truck driver background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held manoeuvre heavy trucks working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held perform defensive driving working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held ensure vehicle operability working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held mechanical components of vehicles engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held drive in urban areas working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held interpret traffic signals assisting and caring

All 9 carried skills, including the 6 the occupational driving instructor 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.
