51.3/ 100

1 Share of the driving instructor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the occupational driving instructor 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

Why this move works

A driving instructor role treats 17 of its required skills as things a occupational driving instructor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • adapt teaching to student's capabilities
  • apply teaching strategies
  • assist students in their learning
  • control the performance of the vehicle
  • diagnose problems with vehicles
  • drive vehicles

What stands in the way is 5 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 28 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A driving instructor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a occupational driving instructor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held take over pedal control working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held manoeuvre bus working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held driving examinations services
  • already held teach driving theory communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held teach driving practices communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held drive two-wheeled vehicles working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 28 carried skills, including the 17 the driving instructor role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 34 missing skills fall into 10 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.

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.
