1 How much of what a tutor is expected to do is already part of a car driving instructor’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 tutor role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.

Why

Why this move works

A tutor role treats 10 of its required skills as things a car driving instructor already does. You would walk in with these on day one.

adapt teaching to student's capabilities
apply teaching strategies
assess students
assist students in their learning
curriculum objectives
demonstrate when teaching

What stands in the way is 8 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 12 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A tutor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a car driving instructor background worth leading with.

Table 3 · What you may need to learn

The 24 missing skills fall into 6 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.

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.
