41%
56.2/ 100
1 Share of the armoured car guard role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the security guard 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 armoured car guard role treats 5 of its required skills as things a security guard already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- comply with the principles of self-defence
- liaise with security authorities
- manage major incidents
- practice vigilance
- security threats
What stands in the way is 9 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 13 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A armoured car guard role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a security guard background worth leading with.
- already held legal requirements related to ammunition business, administration and law
- already held comply with the principles of self-defence assisting and caring
- already held deal with aggressive behaviour assisting and caring
- already held security threats services
- already held restrain individuals assisting and caring
- already held liaise with security authorities communication, collaboration and creativity
All 13 carried skills, including the 5 the armoured car guard role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a armoured car guard role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 maintain vehicle delivery documentation skill · sector specific
- 02 ensure regulatory compliance concerning distribution activities skill · cross sector
- 03 handle delivered packages 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.
