A curriculum administrator already meets 79% of what the education programme coordinator role asks for. The move turns on 1 required skill not yet in the profile.
21.3/ 100
1 How much of what an education programme coordinator is expected to do is already part of a curriculum administrator’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 education programme coordinator role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.
Why this move works
An education programme coordinator role treats 13 of its required skills as things a curriculum administrator already does. You would walk in with these on day one.
- advise on curriculum development
- analyse the training market
- budgetary principles
- cooperate with education professionals
- curriculum standards
- develop a pedagogical concept
What stands in the way is 1 required skill 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 20 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. An education programme coordinator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a curriculum administrator background worth leading with.
- already held monitor curriculum implementation information skills
- already held analyse the training market information skills
- already held ensure curriculum adherence assisting and caring
- already held advise on curriculum development communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held develop a pedagogical concept management skills
- already held inspect education institutions information skills
All 20 carried skills, including the 13 the education programme coordinator role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you may need to learn
The 10 missing skills fall into 3 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.
- still to learn manage budgets required
- optional, not held coordinate educational programmes optional
- optional, not held identify undetected organisational needs optional
- optional, not held manage staff optional
- optional, not held create solutions to problems optional
- optional, not held develop promotional tools optional
- optional, not held liaise with local authorities optional

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.
