1 Share of the corporate trainer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the first aid instructor 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.

Why

Why this move works

A corporate trainer role treats 9 of its required skills as things a first aid instructor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

adapt teaching to target group
adult education
apply teaching strategies
assessment processes
curriculum objectives
demonstrate when teaching

What stands in the way is 7 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 corporate trainer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a first aid instructor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held adapt teaching to target group communication, collaboration and creativity
already held adult education education
already held teamwork principles generic programmes and qualifications
already held demonstrate when teaching communication, collaboration and creativity
already held work with virtual learning environments working with computers
already held assessment processes education

All 12 carried skills, including the 9 the corporate trainer role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 24 missing skills fall into 5 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.

11 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
