78%
31.9/ 100
1 Share of the language school teacher role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the further education teacher 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 this move works
A language school teacher role treats 21 of its required skills as things a further education teacher already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- adapt teaching to student's capabilities
- adapt teaching to target group
- apply intercultural teaching strategies
- assess students
- assessment processes
- assist students in their learning
What stands in the way is 5 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 40 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A language school teacher role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a further education teacher background worth leading with.

- already held promote education course communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held use pedagogic strategies for creativity communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held deliver online training communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held education administration business, administration and law

All 40 carried skills, including the 21 the language school teacher role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 13 missing skills fall into 6 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.
- required, not held supervise spoken language learning required
- required, not held teach languages required

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a language school teacher role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 Computer Assisted Language Learning knowledge · occupation specific
- 02 assess students' preliminary learning experiences skill · sector specific
- 03 language teaching methods knowledge · cross sector
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.
