41/ 100

1 Share of the ice-skating coach role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the sports instructor 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 ice-skating coach role treats 8 of its required skills as things a sports instructor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • adapt teaching to student's capabilities
  • apply risk management in sports
  • assess performance in sport events
  • correct potentially harmful movements
  • instruct in sport
  • organise training

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 13 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A ice-skating coach role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a sports instructor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held manage athletes management skills
  • already held assess performance in sport events management skills
  • already held organise training management skills
  • already held sports nutrition services
  • already held contribute to the development of a sporting estate management skills
  • already held skateboard services

All 13 carried skills, including the 8 the ice-skating coach role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

6 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
