Competence levels are evaluated based on five competence areas, which focus on different aspects of digital competencies:
- Competence area 1: Information & Data Literacy
- Competence area 2: Communication and collaboration
- Competence area 3: Digital content creation
- Competence area 4: Digital Citizenship
- Competence area 5: Problem solving
Eight proficiency levels for each competence have been defined and inspired by the structure and vocabulary of the European Qualification Framework (EQF). At the first two stages, Foundation (1&2), creatives are able to complete simple tasks, autonomously and with guidance where needed; at the following two stages, Intermediate (3&4), they are able to complete well-defined and routine tasks, and resolve straightforward problems, independently and according to their needs; furthermore, at the Advanced (5&6) stages, creatives are able to address different tasks and problems, guiding others in a complex context; at the highest stages – Highly specialised (7&8), they are able to resolve complex problems with many interacting factors, as well as to propose new ideas and processes to the field.
The main objective of this progression model is to support continuous creative development of one’s digital skills. It is not intended as a normative framework or as a tool for performance appraisal. These descriptors, ranging from Foundation (1&2) to Highly specialised (7&8), are intended to motivate creatives and citizens at all levels to positively appreciate their achievements and to look forward to expanding them further in the digital world.
