Digital Skills
60 questions across 5 competence areas. Reach the level in every area and earn a W3C Verifiable Credential any employer across the EU can verify instantly.
The Digital Skills Assessment is a free, standards-based test grounded in DigComp 3.0 — the European Digital Competence Framework for Citizens published by the EU Joint Research Centre in November 2025.
This assessment covers DigComp 3.0’s 5 competence areas and all 21 competences within them, across 60 questions drawn from a bank of 146 so that attempts differ. AI runs through every area rather than sitting apart, which is how DigComp 3.0 treats it. Reach the level in every area to earn a W3C Verifiable Credential — machine-readable, tamper-proof, and compatible with the EU Digital Identity Wallet (EUDI).
Two question types are used: knowledge recall and real-world judgement (situational scenarios with partial credit) — together they test not just what you know, but whether you can apply it under realistic conditions.
Every attempt draws 12 questions per area, covering every competence in it, and the answer options are ordered differently for each candidate. Scores are revealed per area after completion — exam conditions throughout.

Each of the five competence areas earns a verifiable micro-credential, aligned with the EU's 2022 Council Recommendation on micro-credentials for lifelong learning and employability. You can step in and out of learning at any time — take one area now, pause, and return later, with your progress saved across sessions. The five micro-credentials stack into the full Digital Skills Credential. (These are aligned with the EU approach; they are not officially recognised qualifications.)
Each domain tests knowledge and real-world judgement, weighted toward applied scenarios.
Knowledge
Factual recall and conceptual understanding of digital tools, standards, and practices.
Judgement
Apply knowledge to realistic everyday situations — what would a digitally competent person do?
Simulation
Use interactive tools — inbox, files, browser, spreadsheet, chat, or AI — to complete a real task.
Free account required. Certificate with unique verification code on pass. 24-hour retry cooldown. Based on DigComp 3.0 (EU JRC, 2025).
