armed forces officertolieutenant
A armed forces officer already meets 75% of what the lieutenant role asks for. The move turns on 3 required skills not yet in the profile.
This move: 24.9 of 100 · adjacent
1 Share of the lieutenant role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the armed forces officer 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 19 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A lieutenant role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a armed forces officer background worth leading with.
- already held instruct in military duties communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held train military troops communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held camouflage engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held give battle commands communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held lead military troops management skills
- already held military drill services
All 19 carried skills, including the 10 the lieutenant role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 7 missing skills fall into 5 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.
- required, not held manage administrative systems required
- required, not held ensure compliance with policies required
- required, not held advise superiors on military operations required
- optional, not held ensure information security optional
- optional, not held patrol areas optional
- optional, not held monitor equipment condition optional

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a lieutenant role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 manage administrative systems skill · sector specific
- 02 advise superiors on military operations skill · cross sector
- 03 ensure compliance with policies 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.
