heating and ventilation service installertorefrigeration air condition and heat pump technician
A heating and ventilation service installer already meets 75% of what the refrigeration air condition and heat pump technician role asks for. The move turns on 11 required skills not yet in the profile.
This move: 38.4 of 100 · moderate
1 Share of the refrigeration air condition and heat pump technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the heating and ventilation service installer 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 48 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A refrigeration air condition and heat pump technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a heating and ventilation service installer background worth leading with.

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.
