The study examines educators' self-assessment of their digital competence in Public Vocational Training Institutes (PVTI) of Attica region in Greece, according to the European Digital Competence Framework for Educators (DigCompEdu). Two hundred twenty adult educators from PVTI of Attica completed the DigCompEdu CheckIn self-assessment questionnaire, which was translated into Greek and adapted to the field of adult education. Findings indicated that the majority of the survey participants, based on their statements, had a medium to low level of digital competence. Gender, age, teaching experience and educational level were not found to be related to educators' level of digital competence. However, there was a statistically significant correlation between educators' level of digital competence and their field of expertise and attitudes regarding the use of digital technology in adult education. This research is the first attempt to study the digital competence of adult educators according to the DigCompEdu framework in Greece, thus enriching the relevant available research data at a European level.
