1 Share of the frame maker role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the recreation model maker 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 frame maker role treats 7 of its required skills as things a recreation model maker already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

apply a protective layer
create smooth wood surface
manipulate glass
manipulate wood
operate wood sawing equipment
sand wood

What stands in the way is 6 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 9 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A frame maker role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a recreation model maker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held manipulate glass handling and moving
already held operate wood sawing equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held manipulate metal handling and moving
already held create smooth wood surface handling and moving
already held sand wood handling and moving
already held manipulate wood handling and moving

All 9 carried skills, including the 7 the frame maker 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.
