French term or phrase: D-O-M-D = Débute-Occupe-Maîtrise-Domine
I'm translating a job description for a data analyst, but I have no idea what type of company it's for. The skills matrix contains the usual selection of knowledge, technical and social skills, with "x" marked in one of four columns headed D, O, M and D. This is explained at the bottom of the matrix:
D-O-M-D = Débute-Occupe-Maîtrise-Domine
I believe this is a standard term used by Auchan, Carrefour, etc. (but as I say, I have no way of knowing the sector here). What I don't know is whether there is standard wording in English. I've often found them with numeric values (e.g. 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1) or with an alphabetic notation (e.g. A-H). I've seen "simple, intermediate, complex" but that wouldn't suit the 4-column context. If there aren't standard terms in English, I'm open to suggestions for the four levels. My first suggestion would be
"Basic; Competent; Mastered; Expert". Any views?

TIA, Sheila

I selected this (with competent) as it's so close to the Dreyfus NACPE, just combining novice and advanced beginner into one level. Thanks

neutral  Kévin Bernier: I'm really hesitating about agreeing with you. I feel this could work, but I also feel like these terms are mostly used for talent-related activities, i.e music, arts, etc.

agree  Wolf Draeger: These work well, even if they turn out not to be the exact business equivalent of the FR.
