1 Share of the marine electronics technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the electronic 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 41 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A marine electronics technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a electronic equipment assembler background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held interpret technical information for electronic repair work information skills
already held assemble printed circuit boards handling and moving
already held maintain electronic systems working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held types of electronics engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held check system parameters against reference values information skills
already held programmable logic controller engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 41 carried skills, including the 15 the marine electronics technician role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 31 missing skills fall into 10 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.
