1 How much of what a boat rigger is expected to do is already part of a model maker’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 boat rigger role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.

Why

Why this move works

A boat rigger role treats 6 of its required skills as things a model maker already does. You would walk in with these on day one.

align components
fasten components
mechanics
quality standards
read engineering drawings
read standard blueprints

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 14 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A boat rigger role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a model maker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held 3D printing process arts and humanities
already held printing materials arts and humanities
already held operate 3D computer graphics software communication, collaboration and creativity
already held 3D modelling natural sciences, mathematics and statistics

All 14 carried skills, including the 6 the boat rigger role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you may need to learn

The 40 missing skills fall into 11 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 model maker become a boat rigger?

Yes, and it is a substantial move. A model maker already covers 31% of what a boat rigger is expected to do: 14 skills carry over, 6 of which the boat rigger role treats as required.

What skills does a model maker need to become a boat rigger?

9 required skills are missing, plus 31 optional ones. They fall into 11 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, led by assisting and caring. The single most important is ensure vessel compliance with regulations.

How hard is the move from model maker to boat rigger?

Its learning distance is 70.9 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.
