The challenges of digital media in today's learning are complexities that must be resolved by vocational high school teachers. The demand is developing along with the growth of the digital era in people's lives today. Teachers no longer supply instructional resources to conventional learning platforms because it affects students' interest and motivation in obtaining and improving their learning. Teachers must also receive daily training in the use of digital technology in teaching in order to build their confidence towards the use of digital technology in the classroom. This study aims to analyse the level of digital technology literacy skills of vocational schoolteachers in Kota Cimahi, West Java. The participants in this research were 371 respondents from 23 vocational schools in Kota Cimahi, West Java. The method used is a descriptive quantitative approach with data collection techniques using a questionnaire. The results of this study show that teachers' digital literacy level is at level three of the six levels available. The results of this study also show that the teachers already have mastery and understanding of the information and technology they need, and consistently use these standards as a reference for conducting activities. The factors that can hinder a teacher's digital literacy are age and working period because age and working periods greatly affect digital literacy. Older teachers have lower digital literacy compared to young teachers and younger teachers also have higher digital skills. © 2021 School of Engineering.
