63.9/ 100
1 How much of what a gambling quality assurance engineer is expected to do is already part of a lottery operator’s work. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs, because moving into a speciality is not the same problem as moving out of one. 2 Every skill the gambling quality assurance engineer role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.
Why this move works
A gambling quality assurance engineer role treats 3 of its required skills as things a lottery operator already does. You would walk in with these on day one.
- follow ethical code of conduct of gambling
- legal standards in gambling
- solve problems in gambling through digital means
What stands in the way is 6 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 4 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A gambling quality assurance engineer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a lottery operator background worth leading with.
- already held solve problems in gambling through digital means working with computers
- already held legal standards in gambling business, administration and law
- already held games rules business, administration and law
- already held follow ethical code of conduct of gambling assisting and caring
All 4 carried skills, including the 3 the gambling quality assurance engineer role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you may need to learn
The 16 missing skills fall into 7 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered in the order worth working in. Areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the optional ones. Nothing here is a verdict on you: it is a list of what this particular job asks for that your current one does not.

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.
