What N-DAC is
N-DAC 1.0 is the National Digital & AI Competency Framework. It describes the digital and AI capabilities people need and how those capabilities develop, connecting learning, assessment and progression.
Why a national framework
A shared framework lets learners, educators, employers and institutions describe capability in the same terms, and supports consistent capability development across the country.

How N-DAC is used
Connecting to learning
N-DAC gives programmes a shared reference point, so what people learn, how they are assessed and how they progress all align to the same framework.
In Digital for All
Digital for All is built on N-DAC 1.0. Its common foundation and audience pathways develop capability defined by the framework.
For organisations & institutions
Organisations can use N-DAC to understand and develop the digital and AI capability of their people.
