1 Share of the e-learning developer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the web content manager 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 23 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A e-learning developer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a web content manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held utilise content types working with computers
  • already held publishing strategy arts and humanities
  • already held authoring software information and communication technologies (icts)
  • already held compile content information skills
  • already held conduct content quality assurance working with computers
  • already held manage content development projects management skills

All 23 carried skills, including the 11 the e-learning developer role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

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.
