Quantitative research method with a population of 35 elementary school teachers in Semarang City selected by random sampling. The research data were collected through a 25-component questionnaire on digital skills. The results showed a difference between teachers who had received training/ workshops on digital learning/ ICT and those who had yet to receive it on the technical skills of using digital technology. In contrast, teachers' digital competence was the same in the aspect of the ability to use and apply digital technology in different work situations and the ability to evaluate digital technology. The Manova test results show no difference between certified teachers and uncertified teachers in terms of technical skills using digital technology, the ability to use and apply digital technology in different work situations, the ability to critically evaluate digital technology for ethical issues, limitations, and challenges, motivation to participate and commit to digital culture. Future research needs to explore the digital competencies of primary school teachers, especially those who have received educator training and certification.
