The meaning of the levels

    • Level 5: You are comfortable with digital technology, even off the beaten track.
    • Level 6: Very good level of mastery, you are often asked for help, right?
  • Expert

    • Niveau 8 : Non seulement vous mobilisez le numérique de façon originale et élaborez de nouvelles solutions, mais vous les proposez même à vos pairs qui les utilisent ! Quel expert 😉

Levels 7 and 8 are coming soon! Only levels 1 to 6 are currently available on Pix.

Develop your digital skills

PIX’s contributions to the development of everyone’s skills are threefold:

  • PIX allows you to learn by testing yourself. A significant part of the PIX tests are designed in the form of challenges to be taken up during which you develop your skills.
  • Based on the test results, PIX will also offer targeted training recommendations.
  • The service finally offers dedicated access to educational teams (college, high school, higher education) and continuing education managers. They can monitor the development of the skills of the people they supervise, and design tailor-made training strategies.
  • To demonstrate progress in a continuous and stimulating manner, users have a secure personal account which allows them to demonstrate their new knowledge at their own pace and throughout their lives.
