1 Share of the school bus attendant role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the trolley bus 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 school bus attendant role treats 4 of its required skills as things a trolley bus driver already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply conflict management
  • assist passengers
  • health and safety measures in transportation
  • passenger transport regulations

What stands in the way is 5 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 8 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A school bus attendant role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a trolley bus driver background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held ensure vehicles are equipped with accessibility equipment information skills
  • already held help to control passenger behaviour during emergency situations assisting and caring
  • already held assist passengers assisting and caring
  • already held passenger transport regulations services
  • already held health and safety measures in transportation services
  • already held road traffic laws business, administration and law

All 8 carried skills, including the 4 the school bus attendant 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.
