Yes, and it is a moderate move. A language school teacher already covers 63% of what a university teaching assistant is expected to do: 17 skills carry over, 8 of which the university teaching assistant role treats as required.

3 required skills are missing, plus 10 optional ones. They fall into 5 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, led by communication, collaboration and creativity. The single most important is provide assistance to lecturer.

Its learning distance is 36.3 out of 100, which is the moderate band. That accounts for both how much is missing and how specialised those skills are.
