1 How much of what a transport equipment painter is expected to do is already part of a marine painter’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 transport equipment painter role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.

Table 3 · What you may need to learn

The 50 missing skills fall into 10 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered in the order worth working in.

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.
