1 Share of the boxing instructor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the golf 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.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 14 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A boxing instructor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a golf instructor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held participate in sport events communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held market trends in sporting equipment business, administration and law
  • already held sports ethics arts and humanities
  • already held exercise sports communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held assess performance in sport events management skills
  • already held personalise sports programme management skills

All 14 carried skills, including the 8 the boxing instructor role treats as required.

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.
