31%
68.8/ 100
1 Share of the vehicle maintenance supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the motor vehicle aftersales manager profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.
Why this move works
A vehicle maintenance supervisor role treats 7 of its required skills as things a motor vehicle aftersales manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- car controls
- ensure compliance with warranty contracts
- guarantee customer satisfaction
- manage staff
- provide customer follow-up services
- teamwork principles
What stands in the way is 12 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

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.
