fisheries boatmantoboatswain
A fisheries boatman already meets 65% of what the boatswain role asks for. The move turns on 10 required skills not yet in the profile.
This move: 44.1 of 100 · moderate
1 Share of the boatswain role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the fisheries boatman 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 · What you already bring
Of the 24 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A boatswain role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a fisheries boatman background worth leading with.
- already held apply fishing maneuvres working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held prepare fishing equipment management skills
- already held evaluate schools of fish information skills
- already held handle fish products handling and moving
- already held support vessel manoeuvres working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held maintain safe navigation watches working with machinery and specialised equipment
All 24 carried skills, including the 18 the boatswain role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 12 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.

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a boatswain role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 operate vessel critical systems skill · occupation specific
- 02 stand watch on vessel skill · occupation specific
- 03 coordinate fish handling operations skill · sector specific
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
