1 Share of the motor vehicle parts assembler role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the motorcycle assembler 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.

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 motor vehicle parts assembler role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a motorcycle assembler background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held assemble electronic units handling and moving
already held assemble electrical components handling and moving
already held mechanics of motor vehicles engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held use power tools handling and moving
already held align components handling and moving
already held fasten components handling and moving

All 20 carried skills, including the 15 the motor vehicle parts assembler role treats as required.

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.
