WE CAN NOW GET OUR OWN DIGITAL SKILLS CERTIFICATE

With a new module from the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy, you can now get yourself a digital skills certificate to present yourself when applying for a job. The module for self-certification of digital competence allows every citizen to test their knowledge for free and receive a certificate that they have basic and/or intermediate level digital skills that have been acquired in the work process or through self-study, explained the minister of labor and social policy Ivaylo Ivanov.

The module is available at the following email address: selfexam.chrdri.net or at the following link https://skills.mlsp.government.bg/  in the "Self-certify your digital skills" section. Testing and certification are conducted online by the Center for Human Resource Development and Regional Initiatives at the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy. After a successfully passed test, an electronic certificate for the level of digital competence is issued, which is based on a model approved by the Minister of Labor and Social Policy, the department adds. The process is easy and convenient for everyone who wants to confirm their digital competences and get a certificate. Certification provides numerous benefits, including increased competitiveness in the labor market, improved professional skills and development opportunities.

To access the module, pre-registration is required, based on which an access link is sent to e-mail. After verifying the registration, with a username and password, you can proceed to the self-certification in the module. If questions arise, support can be requested from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. from the call center on tel. 0876 91 68 84. Technical and methodological assistance will be provided by e-mail: selfexam_support@chrdri.net, added by MLSP.

"Many of the knowledge and skills today are acquired on the job or through self-study, but until now there was no way for a person to prove that he possessed them. The module for their self-validation is a chance both for people to find a better realization on the labor market and for employers to find the workers and employees who are most suitable for their activity", commented Minister Ivanov.

The module for self-certification of digital competence was created under Component 2 of project P3 - C1.13 "Providing digital skills training and creating a platform for adult education", which is financed under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan. The main goal of the project is to provide opportunities for the acquisition and certification of digital skills and competencies by the workforce, which will be in line with the new needs of the labor market and the entry of digital technologies into socio-economic processes. With the implementation of the project activities, the employability of the labor force will be improved, including people in a disadvantaged position on the labor market.
