1 Share of the further education teacher role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the tutor 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 further education teacher role treats 13 of its required skills as things a tutor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • adapt teaching to student's capabilities
  • adult education
  • apply teaching strategies
  • assess students
  • assessment processes
  • curriculum objectives

What stands in the way is 11 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 19 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A further education teacher role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a tutor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held show consideration for student's situation communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held adult education education
  • already held encourage students to acknowledge their achievements management skills
  • already held oversee extra-curricular activities management skills
  • already held escort students on a field trip assisting and caring
  • already held adapt teaching to student's capabilities communication, collaboration and creativity

All 19 carried skills, including the 13 the further education teacher role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 27 missing skills fall into 7 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.
