78.1/ 100
1 How much of what a cabin crew instructor is expected to do is already part of a bus route supervisor’s work. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs, because moving into a speciality is not the same problem as moving out of one. 2 Every skill the cabin crew instructor role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.
Why this move works
A cabin crew instructor role treats 3 of its required skills as things a bus route supervisor already does. You would walk in with these on day one.
- analyse work-related written reports
- give instructions to staff
- write work-related reports
What stands in the way is 14 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 4 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A cabin crew instructor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a bus route supervisor background worth leading with.
- already held analyse work-related written reports information skills
- already held give instructions to staff communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held write work-related reports communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held train employees communication, collaboration and creativity
All 4 carried skills, including the 3 the cabin crew instructor role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you may need to learn
The 23 missing skills fall into 7 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered in the order worth working in. Areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the optional ones. Nothing here is a verdict on you: it is a list of what this particular job asks for that your current one does not.

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.
