45.1/ 100

1 Share of the heating, ventilation, air conditioning (and refrigeration) drafter role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the rolling stock engineering drafter 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 heating, ventilation, air conditioning (and refrigeration) drafter role treats 16 of its required skills as things a rolling stock engineering drafter already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • CAD software
  • CAE software
  • create technical plans
  • design drawings
  • engineering principles
  • engineering processes

What stands in the way is 4 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 23 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A heating, ventilation, air conditioning (and refrigeration) drafter role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a rolling stock engineering drafter background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held use CADD software working with computers
  • already held manual draughting techniques arts and humanities
  • already held render 3D images communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held use manual draughting techniques communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held use computer-aided engineering systems working with computers
  • already held develop assembly instructions communication, collaboration and creativity

All 23 carried skills, including the 16 the heating, ventilation, air conditioning (and refrigeration) drafter role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 24 missing skills fall into 8 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.

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.
