We encourage you to use this test to verify the acquisition of practical DX skills and literacy required in the workplace, as well as to support human resource development and foundation building for promoting DX within your organization.

What is the 'DX Basic Proficiency Test'?

The 'DX Basic Proficiency Test' was launched in July 2024. Following the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's (METI) formulation of 'Guidelines for Promoting Digital Transformation (DX),' there has been a societal demand for cross-organizational DX promotion and consciousness reform through DX literacy education for all employees. This test incorporates the concepts of the 'DX Literacy Standards' established by METI.

The test items are based on the 'DX Literacy Standards' defined by METI and are systematized into 20 items across 4 categories. The content focuses on knowledge and practical skills applicable to daily work. By acquiring DX literacy, individuals can perceive DX as their own responsibility and take action toward transformation, making this test a valuable tool for consciousness reform and foundation building for DX talent.

Furthermore, JMAM provides learning content linked to the exam and offers support for examining organizational challenges. Through these services and the examination, we will continue to contribute to the development of talent who will lead organizational DX and to the digital transformation of society.
