Yes, and it is a substantial move. An interior architect already covers 39% of what an architectural drafter is expected to do: 15 skills carry over, 11 of which the architectural drafter role treats as required.

12 required skills are missing, plus 20 optional ones. They fall into 8 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, led by communication, collaboration and creativity. The single most important is check architectural drawings on site.

Its learning distance is 64.5 out of 100, which is the substantial band. That accounts for both how much is missing and how specialised those skills are.
