1 How much of what a design and applied arts vocational teacher is expected to do is already part of a maritime instructor’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 design and applied arts vocational teacher role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.

Why

Why this move works

A design and applied arts vocational teacher role treats 18 of its required skills as things a maritime instructor already does. You would walk in with these on day one.

  • adapt teaching to student's capabilities
  • adapt training to labour market
  • apply intercultural teaching strategies
  • apply teaching strategies
  • assess students
  • assessment processes

What stands in the way is 9 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 20 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A design and applied arts vocational teacher role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a maritime instructor background worth leading with.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you may need to learn

The 31 missing skills fall into 12 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.

FAQ

Common questions about this move

Can a maritime instructor become a design and applied arts vocational teacher?

Yes, and it is a substantial move. A maritime instructor already covers 53% of what a design and applied arts vocational teacher is expected to do: 20 skills carry over, 18 of which the design and applied arts vocational teacher role treats as required.

What skills does a maritime instructor need to become a design and applied arts vocational teacher?

9 required skills are missing, plus 22 optional ones. They fall into 12 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, led by communication, collaboration and creativity. The single most important is teach design and applied arts principles.

How hard is the move from maritime instructor to design and applied arts vocational teacher?

Its learning distance is 55.9 out of 100, which is the substantial band. That accounts for both how much is missing and how specialised those skills are.

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.
