The use of digital technologies in educational environments has been largely discussed in recent years, highlighting the need for adequate training so that its use can provide an effective improvement of educational processes and enhance student learning. When the Covid-19 pandemic forced educational institutions to close their physical doors, the research presented in this work was in progress and aimed to assess the level of digital skills of teachers at the Federal University of Bahia's Recôncavo (UFRB), based on the DigCompEdu self-assessment tool, validated by Dias-Trindade, Moreira and Nunes (2019), to subsequently organize adequate teacher training to meet the needs of the teaching staff of that institution. The pandemic, and the consequent need to invest in quality digital education, accelerated the project’s work, and the referred training was duly prepared and adapted to the needs arising from the continuity of distance education. The results of this study showed the weaknesses of the 182 respondent teachers, particularly in the area of ​​learning assessment, leading to the teacher training preparation, already being implemented at UFRB.
