1 Share of the control panel tester role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the electrical equipment assembler 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

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 28 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A control panel tester role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a electrical equipment assembler background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held switching devices engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held apply coating to electrical equipment constructing
already held adjust voltage working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held electrical wire accessories engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held interpret electrical diagrams information skills
already held use specialised tools in electric repairs working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 28 carried skills, including the 16 the control panel tester role treats as required.

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.
