Proficiency Levels
Levels of digital skills
Digital Fashion skills are classified into proficiency levels. DFA divides skills levels into three categories: basic,
intermediate and advanced. A person typically needs to acquire basic skills before moving on to intermediate or advanced skills, however skills are also divided into functional areas, therefore one person can be advanced in one area and basic in another functional area. For Example one can be advanced in digital analytics but basic in Information Technology.
The DFP Certification sums up the results of proficiency levels in all the different areas included in the certification assessment and returns total level.
