56%
46/ 100
1 Share of the consumer electronics repair technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the power tool repair technician 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 consumer electronics repair technician role treats 7 of its required skills as things a power tool repair technician already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- apply company policies
- maintain customer service
- maintain equipment
- provide customer follow-up services
- provide customer information related to repairs
- replace defect components
What stands in the way is 7 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a consumer electronics repair technician role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 set up consumer electronics skill · occupation specific
- 02 consumer electronics knowledge · sector specific
- 03 create solutions to problems skill · cross sector
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.
