Abstract

"This report provides the results of an analysis of the landscape of digital skills certification schemes in the EU which certify skills relevant to the European Digital Competence Framework for Citizens (DigComp). It has been carried out to contribute to the feasibility study of a European Digital Skills Certificate, in Action 9 of the Digital Education Action Plan 2021-2027. It also aims to support transparency in the field and comparability of digital skills certification services offered in the EU. The analysis (conducted from November 2022 to January 2023, with final validation with scheme owners completed in February 2025) has identified 27 relevant schemes operating in the EU, with services available in all EU countries, and reveals that the schemes show variations in many aspects. The report provides a comparative analysis of different characteristics of the various schemes, including organisational aspects, alignment to DigComp, services offered, technical and quality assurance aspects, adoption and impact. It also includes a fact sheet for each of the schemes analysed."
