16.5/ 100
1 How much of what a tyre fitter is expected to do is already part of a tyre vulcaniser’s work. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs, because moving into a speciality is not the same problem as moving out of one. 2 Every skill the tyre fitter role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.
Why this move works
A tyre fitter role treats 8 of its required skills as things a tyre vulcaniser already does. You would walk in with these on day one.
- balance tyres
- clean tyres
- ensure equipment availability
- inspect repaired tyres
- inspect worn tyres
- replace tyres
What stands in the way is 1 required skill the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 19 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A tyre fitter role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a tyre vulcaniser background worth leading with.
- already held balance tyres information skills
- already held sell tyres communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held adjust bag inside tyres constructing
- already held apply rubber patches handling and moving
- already held clamp tyre into mould handling and moving
- already held coat inside of tyres constructing
All 19 carried skills, including the 8 the tyre fitter role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you may need to learn
The 5 missing skills fall into 4 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered in the order worth working in. Areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the optional ones. Nothing here is a verdict on you: it is a list of what this particular job asks for that your current one does not.
- still to learn maintain technical equipment required
- optional, not held adapt to new technology used in cars optional
- optional, not held order inventories of car care supplies optional
- optional, not held paint tyres optional
- optional, not held car controls optional

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.
