1 Share of the ICT accessibility tester role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the ICT integration tester 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 ICT accessibility tester role treats 7 of its required skills as things a ICT integration tester already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • address problems critically
  • execute software tests
  • levels of software testing
  • provide software testing documentation
  • replicate customer software issues
  • report test findings

What stands in the way is 14 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 27 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A ICT accessibility tester role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a ICT integration tester background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held replicate customer software issues working with computers
  • already held develop automated software tests communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held provide software testing documentation communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held develop ICT test suite communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held conduct ICT code review working with computers
  • already held tools for ICT test automation information and communication technologies (icts)

All 27 carried skills, including the 7 the ICT accessibility tester role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

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.
