Abstract: Digital competence is currently a widely-used term that refers to skills, abilities and capabilities that 21st century workers should demonstrate in order to overcome current challenges. Although it has been a researched concept in numerous studies, the literature and industry lack from practical studies and applications. The measurement of digital competences is a key dare that organisations must address with the aim of evaluating the digital behaviour and skills of their workforce. With this information, they will be able to design training programs for the employees to generate personal and professional development on them. Therefore, this study encompasses a theoretical review of several definitions and studies and presents a practical and real tool to evaluate digital competences.

Keywords: digital competence; digitalisation; digital skills; performance measurement; practical tool; competence measurement; skills evaluation; 21st century skills; professional development.
