A fisheries boatmaster already meets 50% of what the fishing net maker role asks for. The move turns on 2 required skills not yet in the profile.
37.8/ 100
1 How much of what a fishing net maker is expected to do is already part of a fisheries boatmaster’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 fishing net maker role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.
Why this move works
A fishing net maker role treats 1 of its required skills as things a fisheries boatmaster already does. You would walk in with these on day one.
- fishing gear
What stands in the way is 2 required skills 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 6 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A fishing net maker role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a fisheries boatmaster background worth leading with.
- already held fishing gear agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
- already held risks associated with undertaking fishing operations agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
- already held quality of fish products agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
- already held fishing vessels agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
- already held fisheries management agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
- already held work in outdoor conditions assisting and caring
All 6 carried skills, including the 1 the fishing net maker role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you may need to learn
The 4 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 repair sailing equipment required
- optional, not held handle cargo optional
- still to learn pollution prevention required
- optional, not held use fishing vessel equipment 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.
