Yes, and it is a moderate move. A food service vocational teacher already covers 73% of what a medical laboratory technology vocational teacher is expected to do: 26 skills carry over, 23 of which the medical laboratory technology vocational teacher role treats as required.

3 required skills are missing, plus 17 optional ones. They fall into 5 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, led by communication, collaboration and creativity. The single most important is biosafety in biomedical laboratory.

Its learning distance is 35.4 out of 100, which is the moderate band. That accounts for both how much is missing and how specialised those skills are.
