1 Share of the sergeant role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the armed forces training and education 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.

Why

Why this move works

A sergeant role treats 10 of its required skills as things a armed forces training and education officer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • advise superiors on military operations
  • identify security threats
  • lead military troops
  • manage troop deployment
  • military code
  • military combat techniques

What stands in the way is 2 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 sergeant role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a armed forces training and education officer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held instruct in military duties communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held supervise the maintenance of military equipment management skills
  • already held advise superiors on military operations communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held monitor military equipment use information skills
  • already held train military troops communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held operate armoured fighting vehicles working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 19 carried skills, including the 10 the sergeant role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 11 missing skills fall into 6 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.
