This move: 18.1 of 100 · adjacent

1 Share of the ski instructor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the snowboard 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.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 18 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A ski instructor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a snowboard instructor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held execute sports training programme communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held market trends in sporting equipment business, administration and law
  • already held adjust sporting equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held follow trends in sporting equipment information skills
  • already held organise training management skills
  • already held skateboard services

All 18 carried skills, including the 7 the ski instructor role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 3 missing skills fall into 3 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.

Skill to acquire Tier
01 management skills 1 required
  • required, not held develop sports programmes required
02 services 1 required
  • required, not held ski required
03 communication, collaboration and creativity 1 supplementary
  • optional, not held develop personal skills optional

The 2 entries a ski instructor role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.

Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
