1 Share of the horse riding instructor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the sports 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 horse riding instructor role treats 8 of its required skills as things a sports instructor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply risk management in sports
  • assess performance in sport events
  • correct potentially harmful movements
  • demonstrate professional attitude to clients
  • instruct in sport
  • maintain customer service

What stands in the way is 7 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 12 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A horse riding instructor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a sports instructor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held organise sporting environment management skills
  • already held promote balance between rest and activity management skills
  • already held assess performance in sport events management skills
  • already held demonstrate professional attitude to clients communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held plan sports instruction programme management skills
  • already held work with different target groups communication, collaboration and creativity

All 12 carried skills, including the 8 the horse riding instructor 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.
