airside safety managertoaviation safety officer
A airside safety manager already meets 16% of what the aviation safety officer role asks for. The move turns on 14 required skills not yet in the profile.
This move: 79.1 of 100 · career change
1 Share of the aviation safety officer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the airside safety manager 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.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 3 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A aviation safety officer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a airside safety manager background worth leading with.
- already held identify airport safety hazards information skills
- already held work in an aviation team communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held common aviation safety regulations business, administration and law
All 3 carried skills, including the 3 the aviation safety officer role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn

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.
