44.3/ 100

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

Why

Why this move works

A boxing instructor role treats 8 of its required skills as things a horse riding instructor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • adapt teaching to target group
  • apply risk management in sports
  • assess performance in sport events
  • correct potentially harmful movements
  • demonstrate when teaching
  • give constructive feedback

What stands in the way is 4 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 10 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 horse riding instructor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held assess performance in sport events management skills
  • already held plan sports instruction programme management skills
  • already held work with different target groups communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held correct potentially harmful movements assisting and caring
  • already held motivate in sports management skills
  • already held apply risk management in sports information skills

All 10 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.
